Why each option is right or wrong
A. A narrative monologue format with extended statements from one speaker
Witness testimony is practiced in question-and-answer format, not as extended single-speaker narration.
B. A question-and-answer format with one to three sentences per turn
The syllabus specifies witness testimony in Q&A format and states that turns are 1-3 sentences per turn, which matches this choice exactly.
C. A simultaneous interpretation format with continuous speech and no turn limits
The topic is short consecutive interpretation, and the witness testimony format uses brief turns of 1-3 sentences.
D. A group discussion format with multiple speakers responding in each turn
Witness testimony is structured as question and answer, not as multi-speaker discussion turns.
