Writing Practice Question

Question

A scenario includes a common misconception for the TOEFL iBT involving independent speaking in Writing. Which answer is best? (Item 51)

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 independent speaking 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 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.
