Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.42 Organization and Cohesion in Academic Writing skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Draft paragraph: (1) The essay claims that noise-canceling headphones can improve focus in open offices. (2) A study found fewer interruptions for employees who used them. (3) The essay then says, 'This proves open offices are bad.'

Which revision best improves logical coherence while keeping the focus on headphones?

ARevise the last sentence to conclude that headphones can mitigate one drawback of open offices rather than condemning the entire office design.

BChange 'study' to 'article' and keep the conclusion.

CDelete sentence (2) so the claim is purely opinion.

DAdd a sentence about office furniture styles after sentence (3).

Solution & Explanation:The evidence supports a limited claim about reducing interruptions, not a sweeping judgment about open offices overall.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Draft: 'The historian argues that the rebellion failed because leaders underestimated the state's resources. For example, they lacked food and weapons. This is why it mattered.' Teacher feedback: The last sentence is vague and repetitive.

Which revision best improves cohesion and specificity?

AThe leaders mattered, and the state had resources.

BThese shortages mattered because they prevented the rebels from sustaining a long campaign against a well-supplied army.

CThis is why the example is food and weapons.

DIt mattered for many reasons, and this is why.

Solution & Explanation:The revision explains the causal link between the example (shortages) and the claim (underestimating state resources) in a precise way.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
