alleryThe direct method arose as a reaction to the:
AAudio-lingual method
BCommunicative approach
CGrammar-translation method
DTask-based approach
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Grammar-translation method
1. The direct method was established in the United Kingdom around 1900.
2. It was developed as a reaction to the grammar-translation method.
3. The audio-lingual, communicative and task-based approaches came decades later.
4. So it cannot be a reaction to them.
**Why not the others:** The audio-lingual, communicative and task-based approaches all came after 1900, so they cannot be what the direct method reacted to.
