Important examples of verification in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, verification often refers to confirming details or information.

▪Verification of your details is needed.
▪Proof of your details is needed.

Example of a confusing word: validation (to confirm the validity)

▪Validation of your details is needed.
▪Confirmation of the validity of your details is needed.
"Verification" means "to confirm" or "to check the accuracy" of something. In the sentence "Verification of your details is needed," it implies that a process is required to ensure the details are correct. "Validation," on the other hand, involves confirming the legitimacy or validity of something, often used in contexts like validating a theory or a ticket. While they share a semantic connection, "validation" focuses more on legitimacy rather than just accuracy, and using it here might change the intended meaning. Therefore, "verification" is the correct choice in this context.
