Which description best matches a maze test?

• A. A reading test that measures fluency with rapid reading.
• B. A test where the student completes a text by choosing from three options for missing words to fit the context.
• C. An evaluation of handwriting quality.
• D. A vocabulary matching test.

Answer: (B)

A maze test focuses on how well a reader uses context to understand text as they read. In this type of task, a passage has several words removed and replaced with several plausible choices. You pick the option that best fits to complete the sentence, keeping the meaning and grammar intact. This measures how accurately and efficiently you process language while reading, not just how fast you can read or how well you know vocabulary. The other descriptions describe different kinds of tests—one about rapid, fluent reading; one about handwriting quality; one about matching words to meanings. So the description that involves filling in missing words by choosing from three options to fit the context best matches a maze test.
