Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.69 Socratic Seminars Prepare and Participate skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

You are facilitating a seminar. Which question most effectively pushes the group to compare the reasoning across both sources and test underlying assumptions?

AWhat unstated values guide each speaker’s argument (e.g., efficiency, equity, autonomy), and how do those values shape what evidence each one treats as convincing?

BWhich speaker sounds more confident?

CDo you agree with the policy, yes or no?

DCan someone restate passage A in simpler words?

Solution & Explanation:Correct answer: A. It asks the group to surface and test underlying values and criteria for evidence across sources--high-level seminar work. The other options focus on tone, simplification, or yes/no agreement instead of comparing reasoning.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A participant claims, “Since the memo lists a dollar amount, the policy is automatically justified.” What is the best evidence-based response to repair the reasoning without dismissing the speaker?

ATell them they’re using a fallacy and should stop talking.

BAgree, because money is the only objective measure.

CAsk them to connect cost to impact: “Where do the lines show what the money represents, and what other outcomes--besides cost--does the passage say critics care about?”

DChange the subject to avoid conflict.

Solution & Explanation:Correct answer: C. It challenges the leap in logic respectfully by asking for a text-based connection between cost and outcomes, broadening evidence criteria. The other options attack the speaker, treat cost as the only value, or avoid productive disagreement.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which seminar prompt would best help the group synthesize both sources and evaluate the strength of each argument?

AWhat claim does each source make, what evidence supports it, and what key gap or bias in evidence should we challenge in each?

BWhich source uses more numbers?

CWhat is the topic of both sources?

DWhich person would you rather interview?

Solution & Explanation:Correct answer: A. It requires identifying claims, evidence, and gaps in both sources, pushing evaluation and synthesis with citations. The other prompts either reduce analysis to counting, focus on preference, or stay at a surface topic level.
