TOEIC Question-Response Questions and Answers

Question 1

When does the quarterly budget report need to be submitted?

Accepted Answer

By the end of the day on Friday.

Answer

The question asks 'When,' which requires a time-based answer. 'By the end of the day on Friday' is the only option that provides a specific deadline, directly answering the question. The other options are not relevant to the time of submission.

Question 2

Didn't you attend the training session this morning?

Accepted Answer

No, I had a prior commitment with a client.

Answer

This is a negative question looking for a yes/no answer and often a reason. 'No, I had a prior commitment with a client' correctly answers the question by stating non-attendance and providing a logical explanation.

Question 3

Where can I find the most recent sales figures?

Accepted Answer

They're in the shared folder under 'Q4 Reports'.

Answer

The question asks 'Where,' requiring a location. 'They're in the shared folder under 'Q4 Reports'' specifies a location, making it the correct response. The other answers discuss performance, time, and reason, which do not answer the 'Where' question.

Question 4

This new software is much more efficient than the old version.

Accepted Answer

I agree, it's saving us a lot of time.

Answer

The initial statement is an opinion. The most logical response is one that agrees, disagrees, or comments on this opinion. 'I agree, it's saving us a lot of time' is a direct and relevant response that shows agreement and adds a supporting detail.

Question 5

How often should we back up the server files?

Accepted Answer

The policy requires it to be done daily.

Answer

The question 'How often' asks about frequency. 'The policy requires it to be done daily' directly answers this by stating the required frequency. The other options suggest a one-time action, a location, or simple agreement, none of which address the frequency.
