There is a growing recognition that English tests which only measure passive skills do not give an adequate picture of a person’s ability to use that language. However, in spite of the recognized inadequacies of passive tests, they continue to be used because the few productive tests available are expensive and require considerable time for marking and returning of the results to the candidate. What is needed is a test that combines the ease of administration and reliability of a multiple-choice test with an easily administered production test that can be quickly scored.
Q: "picture" is closest to ：
