Detailed Instructions for TOEFL Gist Content Questions

The gist of something is the main point or key idea. Gist-content questions require you to determine the primary subject or concept discussed in the listening conversation or lecture.

Gist-Content questions are typically phrased as follows:

• What are the speakers mainly discussing?

• What is the main topic of the lecture?

• What is the lecture mainly about?

Q- What is the lecture mainly about?

a. Dissecting dead human bodies

b. Background information on the study of human bodies

c. What happens when a body is dissected
