Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.94 Words with New or Contested Usages skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Final draft check: A student uses “they” for a single specific person throughout an essay, but once writes “he” in paragraph 4.

Which edit best addresses both clarity and respect for identity?

AChange the “they” to “he” once so the sentence has a singular pronoun.

BChange every “they” to “he” for grammar.

CDelete all pronouns and repeat the person’s name every sentence.

DChange the “he” to “they” to keep pronouns consistent.

Solution & Explanation:If the essay establishes the person’s pronouns as “they,” consistency matters. A one-time switch can confuse readers and can be disrespectful.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Student argument: “The policy is problematic.”

“Problematic” can be criticized as vague. Which revision is most specific?

AThe policy is problematic.

BThe policy is toxic.

CThe policy is unclear about who qualifies and how appeals work.

DThe policy is problematic, period.

Solution & Explanation:Replacing a broad label with concrete details (unclear criteria and appeals) strengthens the argument and reduces vagueness.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Essay sentence: “The results were significant.”

In scientific and statistical writing, “significant” can be misread as “important.” Which revision best clarifies that the writer means statistical significance?

AThe results were significant.

BThe results were statistically significant.

CThe results were majorly significant in vibes.

DThe results were significative.

Solution & Explanation:Adding “statistically” prevents readers from misinterpreting “significant” as simply “important” rather than a statistical claim.
