The word 'Recite' can be 'repeat from memory' and 'retell', but which meaning matches the following instance? [Check whether students can recite the story] 1. The teacher wants students to repeat the story from memory. 2. The teacher wants students to retell the story. I will go the 1, because it seems 'RECITE' tends to mean REPEAT more often in class context. Am I right?

Both definitions suffice in this case
