Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.34 Historical and Scientific Explanations skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

You are writing a literature review on restorative justice in schools. You have 12 studies with mixed results and different measures (suspensions, climate surveys, attendance).

Which organizational approach best supports ethical synthesis?

AList the studies in whatever order you found them online.

BOnly describe the studies that show positive results.

CCombine all outcomes into one number without explanation.

DGroup studies by outcome measure and context, summarize patterns and limitations within each group, and avoid claiming a single effect when measures differ.

Solution & Explanation:Ethical synthesis organizes evidence logically, reports variation, and respects differences in measures and contexts instead of forcing one oversimplified conclusion.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

You translate a paragraph from another language, keep the ideas and structure, and do not cite the original.

What is this, and what should you do?

AIt is original because the words are different.

BIt is acceptable if you change every verb tense.

CIt is plagiarism (translation plagiarism); you must cite the original source and write your own synthesis rather than copying structure.

DIt is only plagiarism if the topic is famous.

Solution & Explanation:Changing languages doesn't remove the need to credit ideas and structure. Ethical writing cites the original and creates an independent paraphrase/synthesis.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A student's bibliography includes a journal article title, but when you search, the journal never published that title. The DOI is also invalid.

What should the student do?

AKeep it because teachers won't check.

BRe-check where the information came from, remove the fabricated reference, and replace it with verified sources they actually read and can locate.

CInvent page numbers to complete it.

DCite a different fake journal to balance it out.

Solution & Explanation:References must be accurate and traceable. Fabricated citations undermine credibility and are unethical; the fix is to use only verifiable sources.
