Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.30 Author's Purpose, Point of View, and Bias skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Select the revision that best creates cohesion by mixing periodic and cumulative syntax. Original: The speaker acknowledges the opposing view. The speaker then strengthens her own claim with evidence. The speaker ends with a clear call to action.

Which option best improves cohesion and syntactic variety?

AThe speaker acknowledges the opposing view, and the speaker strengthens her own claim with evidence, and the speaker ends with a clear call to action.

BAfter acknowledging the opposing view, the speaker strengthens her claim with evidence and ends with a clear call to action.

CBecause the speaker acknowledges the opposing view, she strengthens her own claim with evidence; the call to action ends it.

DThe speaker ends with a call to action; for example, she acknowledges the opposing view and strengthens her claim.

Solution & Explanation:The revision begins with a dependent phrase ('After acknowledging...') and then uses coordinated verbs ('strengthens... and ends...'), creating cohesion and varied syntax.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Choose the transition that best signals a counterexample. Sentence 1: Many people assume electric grids fail only during storms. Sentence 2: [BLANK] a heat wave can overload demand and trigger rolling outages.

Which transition best begins sentence 2?

AConsequently,

BHowever,

CSimilarly,

DIn conclusion,

Solution & Explanation:Look at how the second idea relates to the first: it shows a contrast between ideas. 'However,' signals that relationship, while the other choices signal different connections (like contrast, example, or addition). In this item, the rule is applied to the specific wording about “Consequently,,” which keeps the reasoning tied to the example students see. Specific context for this example: “Choose the transition that best signals a counterexample. Sentence 1: Many people assume electric...”.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Select the best revision for cohesion across sentences. Original: The researcher interviewed dozens of residents. This made the findings credible. It also revealed contradictions in the neighborhood’s stories.

Which option best replaces 'This' to avoid vague reference and improve cohesion?

AThe researcher interviewed dozens of residents. This made the findings credible. This also revealed contradictions.

BThe researcher interviewed dozens of residents; this breadth made the findings credible and also revealed contradictions in the neighborhood’s stories.

CThe researcher interviewed dozens of residents because this made the findings credible and revealed contradictions.

DThe researcher interviewed dozens of residents; for example, contradictions were revealed, therefore credibility happened.

Solution & Explanation:Replacing vague 'This' with a precise noun phrase ('this breadth') clarifies what caused credibility and links both effects in one cohesive sentence.
