Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Authentic assessment refers to an assessment that requires students to apply what they’ve learned in a new circumstance or situation, typically one that mirrors what would be expected of them in that discipline or field.

Detailed explanation-2: -Authentic tasks are easy to identify as they are what we do with our own language all the time. Examples include phoning for information, preparing a party, planning a holiday, answering e-mail, preparing reports, holding a meeting and filling in application forms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Problem-based Learning begins with a problem that determines what students study. The problem derives from an observable phenomena or event. The emphasis is on acquiring new knowledge and the solution is less important. Students are presented with an open-ended, authentic question.

Detailed explanation-4: -Authentic assessments help students analyze what they’ve learned and apply it their own experience. They don’t have to memorize facts for a test, so they can use their creativity to show what they’ve learned.
