Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.23 Interpret Extended Metaphor and Symbol skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A headline claims "Scientists confirm phones cause brain changes," citing a study that measured short-term attention tasks. The headline implies long-term brain damage, which the paper does not test.
Which critique is most accurate?
AThe headline stretches the study beyond what it measured; evaluate the paper's actual outcomes and timeframe
BAny change in attention equals brain damage
CShort-term tasks prove long-term effects
DThe paper must be wrong because headlines exist
Solution & Explanation:Mastery evaluation checks construct validity: what was measured, for how long, and what the study can actually conclude. Headlines can overgeneralize.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A post claims a new rule will change student scholarships and links to a screenshot of a PDF. When you locate the PDF, you find it is an outdated draft marked "superseded," and a newer version exists.
What does this show about evaluating documents online?
ADrafts and final versions are the same
BAny PDF is final
CIf it is superseded, it becomes more credible
DYou must check document versioning (draft vs final) and use the most current official version
Solution & Explanation:Policies and reports can be updated. Mastery-level evaluation checks version labels and dates to avoid using outdated or superseded information.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A site posts a chart and claims it comes from a university. Lateral reading finds the chart was actually created by a student club, and the university issued a statement that the graphic does not represent official research.
What is the best conclusion?
AAny university connection makes it official research
BThe chart is verified because it has a campus logo
CStudent clubs are always wrong
DThe chart should not be treated as official university research; verify with actual faculty publications or institutional reports
Solution & Explanation:Institutional credibility depends on official channels and research publications. A student club graphic is not the same as peer-reviewed or institutional research output.
