Speaking Practice Question

Question

A client-facing situation requires a compliant response for the TOEFL iBT involving paraphrase in Speaking. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 174)

Answer choices

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

Correct Answer

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

Explanation

The correct answer is B because paraphrase 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.
