ACommunicative method
BTask-based method
CTotal physical response
DAudio-lingual method
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Audio-lingual method
1. The audio-lingual method grew partly from the need to teach servicemen basic verbal skills in World War II.
2. Because of the military influence, early versions came to be known as the army method.
3. The communicative, task-based and TPR methods were not born from the war effort.
4. So the army method is the audio-lingual method.
**Why not the others:** The communicative method, the task-based method and TPR were not created for military training.
