Which drill involves repeating the prompt exactly as given, without modification?

• A. Imitation drill
• B. Substitution drill
• C. Variable substitution drill
• D. Chain drill

Answer: (A)

Imitation drill focuses on repeating the prompt exactly as given, preserving its wording, pronunciation, and rhythm without changing content. Other drills involve changing elements of the prompt (substitution or variable substitution) or using prompts in a linked sequence (chain drill), so they don’t require faithful replication of the original prompt. Therefore, imitation drill is the correct choice.
