Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.1 Evidence Based Q and A skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Owen’s class read a story about a painter who always used gray. Owen said the painter seemed sad. Then he found a page where the painter gave away all the bright colors to children who had none. He also found a line where the painter smiled at the colorful playground after the children painted it. Owen changed his answer to say the painter was generous. He shared both details with the class.

Which pair of details best supports Owen’s revised answer about the painter?

Athe painter always used gray; Owen said the painter seemed sad

BOwen changed his answer; he shared details with the class

Cthe children painted the playground; the story had a painter

Dthe painter gave away all the bright colors to children; the painter smiled at the colorful playground

Solution & Explanation:Choice D is correct because the evidence “the painter gave away all the bright colors to children; the painter smiled at the colorful playground” shows the painter giving to others and feeling pleased about it. The other choices mention details from the passage, but they do not give the best evidence for the question.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Nina and her grandfather were fixing a squeaky gate. Nina wanted to use the biggest screwdriver, but her grandfather asked her to listen first. Nina opened the gate slowly and heard the squeak near the lower hinge. She pointed to that hinge before choosing a smaller screwdriver. After two turns of the screw, the gate opened quietly. Nina wrote “listen first” on a sticky note for next time.

Which pair of details best supports the inference that Nina learned to diagnose the problem before fixing it?

Ashe wanted the biggest screwdriver; the gate opened quietly

Bher grandfather asked her to listen; she wrote a sticky note

Cshe heard the squeak near the lower hinge; she pointed to that hinge before choosing a smaller screwdriver

Dthe gate was squeaky; two turns fixed it

Solution & Explanation:Choice C is correct because the evidence “she heard the squeak near the lower hinge; she pointed to that hinge before choosing a smaller screwdriver” shows Nina locating the problem before choosing the tool. The other choices mention details from the passage, but they do not give the best evidence for the question.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Darius wanted to know why the character in his story gave away a blue ribbon. The story said the character had won the ribbon at a race. Later, it said his friend had practiced all month but tripped near the finish line. The character placed the ribbon on his friend’s desk with a note that said, “You kept running.” Darius answered that the character wanted to encourage his friend. He underlined the practice and note details.

Which pair of details best supports Darius’s answer about why the ribbon was given away?

Athe character won a ribbon; Darius underlined details

Bhis friend had practiced all month but tripped near the finish line; the note said, “You kept running”

Cthe ribbon was blue; it was placed on a desk

DDarius wanted to know why; Darius answered the question

Solution & Explanation:Choice B is correct because the evidence “his friend had practiced all month but tripped near the finish line; the note said, “You kept running”” shows why the friend needed encouragement and how the note encouraged him. The other choices mention details from the passage, but they do not give the best evidence for the question.
