Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.26 Shakespearean Diction and Scansion skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A writer argues to ban facial-recognition technology in city public spaces. The writer cites one investigation showing misidentification errors and one survey showing residents feel uneasy. The writer wants to make the argument stronger and more complete.

Which evaluation is best?

AThe argument is perfect because it has two sources.

BThe argument is weak because technology is always good.

CThe argument fails because surveys are illegal.

DThe evidence raises serious concerns about accuracy and public trust, but the argument would be stronger with more data on error rates across groups, comparisons to alternative security methods, and an analysis of trade-offs (safety, privacy, oversight).

Solution & Explanation:A strong evaluation identifies what the evidence supports and what is missing. Here, two sources suggest problems, but a robust argument needs broader accuracy data, alternatives, and careful analysis of trade-offs.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A district debates whether to keep a classic-novels requirement in 11th grade. The writer supports keeping it but wants a conclusion that acknowledges a counterclaim that the list is not culturally inclusive.

Which concluding paragraph best does this?

APeople who want inclusive books are wrong.

BClassics are the only books worth reading.

CKeeping a core set of classics can build shared literary knowledge, but the list should expand to include diverse authors so students see more experiences while still practicing rigorous analysis.

DBooks are made of paper.

Solution & Explanation:The best conclusion restates the position, acknowledges the inclusion concern, and proposes a reasonable adjustment. That shows fair counterclaim treatment and strengthens the argument.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A writer includes this statistic: 'In the pilot energy program, households cut electricity use by 12%.' The writer wants to add a sentence that interprets the statistic rather than just repeating it.

Which sentence best interprets the evidence?

AElectricity is measured in watts.

BA 12% reduction suggests the program produced meaningful savings for many households, which could lower bills and reduce demand on the power grid if the results hold when expanded.

CTwelve is a number.

DPeople should use less electricity because it is good.

Solution & Explanation:Interpretation explains what the number implies and why it matters. The best sentence connects the reduction to likely impacts (bills and grid demand) while staying cautious about scaling up.
