alleryWhich of these does Krashen require before the Monitor can work?
AA large audience
BA written script
CTime to focus on form
DYears living abroad
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Time to focus on form
1. Krashen lists three conditions: the speaker must know the rule, focus on correctness, and have time.
2. Using the Monitor means slowing down and thinking about form rather than meaning.
3. An audience, a script or living abroad is not among the conditions.
4. So the only matching choice is having time to focus on form.
**Why not the others:** A large audience, a written script and years abroad are not conditions; the three conditions are knowing the rule, focusing on correctness and having time.
