Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.44 Evidence Quality and Source Credibility skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student argues, “The argument’s sources are credible because they all agree.” But every source is from outlets owned by the same parent company and cites the same original press release.

What is the strongest critique?

AAgreement always proves truth

BPress releases are primary sources so they are always best

CAgreement does not equal corroboration when sources are not independent; the evidence is circular and may reflect the same bias

DOwnership never affects credibility

Solution & Explanation:Corroboration requires independent confirmation. If all sources trace to the same origin and ownership, apparent consensus may be manufactured or repeated without verification.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student argues, “A social program reduced poverty,” using a before-and-after poverty rate in the same city. During the same period, a national economic expansion occurred, and the city’s population changed dramatically due to migration.

Which evidence would best help isolate the program’s effect?

AMore before-and-after graphs from the same city only

BA quote from the program director

CA comparison with similar cities that did not adopt the program (difference-in-differences style evidence) while accounting for population changes

DA single moving personal story from a participant

Solution & Explanation:To attribute change to the program, you need a counterfactual: what would have happened without it. Comparing to similar places and adjusting for migration improves causal inference.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A student argues, “The school should adopt a four-day week,” citing a study where teacher satisfaction rose and costs fell. But student achievement data were missing for the first year due to a testing change, and attendance was measured differently.

What is the best way to evaluate whether the evidence is sufficient for the policy decision?

ATeacher satisfaction is the only outcome that matters

BMissing data proves the policy failed

CTreat the evidence as incomplete and seek comparable achievement and attendance measures across years or matched districts before concluding overall success

DCost savings prove the policy is best

Solution & Explanation:Sufficiency depends on outcomes central to the decision (learning and attendance). Measurement changes and missing data require caution and additional comparable evidence.
