Which of the following is an example of a Role-Play task prompt?

• A. Describe a busy street scene you see in a photo, noting at least five objects, their colors, positions, and actions.
• B. You are at a store and must return a faulty item; negotiate a replacement or refund with the clerk, asking for receipts, policies, and timelines.
• C. Give a 2-minute talk about your favorite season, including reasons, memories, and examples.
• D. Listen to a brief audio about planning a school event, then summarize the plan and propose two improvements orally.

Answer: (B)

Role-play prompts ask you to step into a realistic situation and interact as a character within that scenario. In this example, you’re at a store and must negotiate a replacement or refund with the clerk, asking for receipts, store policies, and timelines. That requires practicing dialogue, turn-taking, and practical decision-making in real time—hallmarks of a role-play task. The other options focus on describing a scene, giving a personal talk, or listening and summarizing, which are descriptive, monologue, or listening-comprehension tasks, not interactive role-playing.
