Writing Practice Question

Question

A learner is comparing two similar concepts for the TOEFL iBT involving transition choice in Writing. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 75)

Answer choices

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

Correct Answer

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

Explanation

The correct answer is C because transition choice 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.
