Choice B represents the least authentic assessment as it presents a reading passage that is specifically prepared for a standardized test (SAT) and is not a real-world reading task that the student is likely to encounter. The other choices involve reading materials that one might encounter in real-life situations, such as assembling furniture, reading news articles, or reading reviews before going to a restaurant. Authentic assessments are designed to mimic real-world scenarios and tasks, and therefore are a more accurate measure of a student's skills and abilities.
