Task Response

The answer directly addresses the question and provides valid reasons why some people struggle with decision-making. Consider expanding on the reasons provided with specific examples to further enhance the response.

Fluency & Coherence

The answer is well-organized and coherent. The ideas flow logically. Minor improvements could be made by using more sophisticated linking words or phrases to enhance the flow even further. For example, instead of 'In some cases', consider using 'Alternatively' or 'Furthermore'.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like 'consequences' and 'stressful' show a good range. However, more precise and sophisticated vocabulary could elevate the response. For example, instead of 'afraid of making mistakes,' consider 'fearful of committing errors' or 'apprehensive about the potential repercussions'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is largely accurate and the sentences are well-structured. There is a minor grammatical error in the raw answer ('thinking every possible outcome'), but it is easily understood. Using more complex grammatical structures, such as subordinate clauses or participial phrases, would further enhance the response.
