4. D. Escalate only after taking irreversible action without reviewing the facts.

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.
