Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.47 Argument Writing Precise Claims and Counterclaims skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Your team wants to include an “on-the-street” interview montage. But you realize random passersby may not understand the topic, and quick answers could misrepresent public knowledge.

What is the best design to keep the montage meaningful and fair?

AAsk leading questions until you get the responses you want.

BOnly include the funniest incorrect answers for entertainment.

CUse the montage as proof of what people know and end the episode there.

DUse on-the-street clips for attitudes or questions, not for factual claims, and pair them with expert context and transparent framing about how you collected responses.

Solution & Explanation:Mastery framing clarifies what street interviews represent; pairing them with context prevents turning quick opinions into misleading “evidence.”

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Your episode uses a complex chain of reasoning: A leads to B leads to C. Early test listeners accept A and B but reject C as a leap.

What is the best script fix?

AAdd a clear warrant connecting B to C, include the strongest evidence for that link, and acknowledge counterarguments before concluding.

BRepeat C louder so people believe it.

CRemove A and B so the episode jumps straight to C.

DAdd unrelated anecdotes so the episode feels fuller.

Solution & Explanation:Mastery argumentation makes reasoning explicit: listeners need the “because” that connects steps, supported by evidence and consideration of alternatives.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

You realize one of your interviewees may have been intoxicated during recording. Their statements are emotional and could be harmful if shared. Consent was given, but their capacity is questionable.

What is the most responsible decision?

APause publication of that segment, consult your teacher/editorial guidelines, and consider re-interviewing when the person can give fully informed consent or omitting it to prevent harm.

BEdit the audio to sound sober and publish it.

CPublish immediately because consent was recorded.

DUse the audio because it is dramatic and will get attention.

Solution & Explanation:Mastery ethics considers informed consent and harm reduction; questionable capacity requires extra caution and often a re-check of consent.
