Speaking Practice Question

Question

A test item asks for the most accurate explanation for the TOEFL iBT involving cause and effect in Speaking. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 118)

Answer choices

1. A. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
2. B. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the cause and effect scenario.
3. C. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
4. D. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.

Correct Answer

B. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the cause and effect scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because cause and effect is tested by asking candidates to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
