Writing Practice Question

Question

A test item asks for the most accurate explanation for the TOEFL iBT involving argument support in Writing. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 79)

Answer choices

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

Correct Answer

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

Explanation

The correct answer is C because argument support 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.
