Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Opinion-gap task
1. An opinion-gap activity involves stating a personal preference, feeling or attitude.
2. Story completion and discussion of a social issue are its examples.
3. There is no objective procedure for showing the outcomes right or wrong.
4. So such a discussion is an opinion-gap task.
**Why not the others:** Information-gap and reasoning-gap tasks have more objective outcomes, and a pattern drill is not a task.
