Which strategy involves one partner verbally describing something hidden from the other to enable guessing?

• A. Gallery Walk
• B. Audio-Lingual Method
• C. Information Gap
• D. SDAIE

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is a type of communicative task where learners must bridge a missing piece of information through description and listening. In an Information Gap activity, one person has information that the other person does not. By describing what’s hidden and asking questions, the describer helps the partner guess the missing item or detail. This setup motivates precise use of language, clarifying meaning, and negotiating understanding, because success depends on effective description and listening, not just recalling or repeating practiced phrases.

This is the best fit because it specifically centers on describing something hidden to enable the other person to guess, which is the defining feature of an Information Gap task. The other options don’t capture that exact dynamic: Gallery Walk involves moving around to share and discuss ideas in a visual display; the Audio-Lingual Method emphasizes drills and pattern repetition rather than a information-sharing guessing activity; and SDAIE refers to a teaching approach for English learners with content knowledge, not a particular activity focused on hidden-information guessing.
