Question

A scenario includes a common misconception for the TOEFL iBT involving comparison in Writing. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 137)

Answer choices

1. A. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the comparison scenario.
2. B. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
3. C. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
4. D. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.

Correct Answer

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

Explanation

The correct answer is A because comparison 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.
