Answer

Respond clearly and relevantly to answer: Plan the audience, purpose, form, tone and viewpoint before choosing vocabulary and structure for Respond clearly and relevantly to.

Explanation

Respond clearly and relevantly to uses Plan the audience, purpose, form, tone and viewpoint before choosing vocabulary and structure for Respond clearly and relevantly to because it matches the writing for audience and purpose focus for Listening and responding. It separates the skill from weaker choices and keeps the response tied to the exact objective. Use AO5: choose audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and paragraph structure before selecting vocabulary. Listening and responding needs a language method, such as word choice or imagery, linked to reader effect. Listening and responding should use a formal presentation, speak to the audience, listen and respond to each question or feedback, and use accurate Standard English register.

Common mistake

questions: summary instead of analysis

Students sometimes summarise Listening and responding instead of explaining how the objective works in the answer.

Correct this by selecting a brief detail, explaining its effect, and linking the point back to "Respond clearly and relevantly to questions about a spoken presentation."
