Question

In which context might a student use the expression "are you kidding me?!"

when receiving a feedback from a coach

when a teacher says something surprising

when a friend says something surprising

when asked to make an informal presentation

Answer 1

Best choice: when a friend says something surprising.

Explanation:
- With a friend: appropriate — it's informal, conveys surprise or disbelief and fits casual speech.
- With a coach: maybe, only if you have a relaxed, close rapport; otherwise it can sound disrespectful.
- With a teacher: generally not appropriate — too informal/rude for a classroom authority.
- During an informal presentation: not appropriate — it sounds unprofessional and off-topic.

Alternatives:
- Polite surprise: "Really?", "Seriously?", "I can't believe that."
- For teacher/coach feedback: "I wasn't expecting that — could you explain?" or "That's surprising; thank you for the feedback."
