Speaking Practice Question

Question

A learner is comparing two similar concepts for the TOEFL iBT involving independent speaking in Speaking. Which answer is best? (Item 171)

Answer choices

1. A. Assume the requirement applies only when the customer specifically asks about it.
2. B. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
3. C. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the independent speaking scenario.
4. D. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.

Correct Answer

C. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the independent speaking scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because independent speaking 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.
