Question

CHOOSE THE BEST RESPONSE.

In which of the following questions is the speaker paraphrasing what they just heard ?

• A. What exactly do you mean by ....... ?
• B. Do you mean to say that ............... ?
• C. Could you throw some light on ...... ?
• D. What do you think about ................ ?

Answer 1

The correct option is B Do you mean to say that ............... ?

Since the question specifically mentions that. the speaker is paraphrasing something that's just been heard, the response needs to be one that expresses a bit of uncertainty plus one's own interpretation of what has been said. Since Option B) is one that meets this criteria, it is the correct answer. All other answers are inappropriate.
