Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Ability to communicate
1. CLT emphasises interaction as both the means and the goal of study.
2. Its goal is the ability to communicate in the target language.
3. Grammatical competence was previously given top priority.
**Why not the others:** Grammar mastery, translation and a perfect accent were the aims of earlier methods, not of CLT.
