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?

'Retell' to me suggests saying the story in a different way, not word for word. When you recite a poem you want to get all the words correct.

Given the students are repeating a story from memory in both cases, repeat, retell or recite would work. Retell: tell (a story) again or differently Repeat: just means to do something again Recite: repeat aloud or declaim (a poem or passage) from memory before an audience. Both definitions suffice in this case
