Attitude

Identify the attitude of the speaker from a specific part of the lecture/conversation. TOEFL Listening Attitude questions are similar to Inference questions in that they ask test takers to identify something that is not explicitly stated in the passage. They require the test taker to identify the speaker’s attitude, opinion, or feelings about something mentioned in the lecture or conversation. They must rely upon the way the information was presented by the speaker to answer the question correctly. Basically, they have to make an educated guess. There is usually only one of these questions per passage, and sometimes a passage will have no Attitude questions.
