Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.77 Using Sources skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Sources on a famous speech: Source A: Transcript PDF (official archive) Source B: Quote image shared online with no link to the transcript

Which evidence is MOST appropriate to quote in a paper and why?

AUse whichever version sounds better.

BUse the transcript from the official archive because it is verifiable and can be cited precisely.

CUse the quote image because it is easier to read.

DMake up a quote that fits your point.

Solution & Explanation:Quotes should come from a reliable, checkable source. An official transcript lets readers verify wording and page/section, while an unsourced image may be inaccurate.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Source 1: "Local Water Quality" (government dashboard) Lead level: 2 parts per billion (ppb) in September 2025. Source 2: News article (October 2025) The EPA action level for lead in drinking water is 15 ppb.

Which note BEST fits the category CONTEXT (helps readers interpret the number)?

ANews is always true.

BLead is a metal.

CSeptember 2025 lead was 2 ppb, which is below the EPA action level of 15 ppb.

D2 ppb is scary.

Solution & Explanation:Context compares a measured value to a standard so readers understand what it means. Using both the dashboard number and the EPA threshold requires citing both sources.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Source A: "Smartphones and Attention" (peer-reviewed study summary) The study found a small decrease in attention scores when notifications were on. Source B: Student newspaper headline "Phones Destroy Attention!"

Which revision BEST matches the research and avoids exaggeration?

AOne study found a small decrease in attention scores when notifications were on.

BAttention cannot be measured.

CNotifications never matter.

DPhones destroy attention for everyone.

Solution & Explanation:The study reports a small decrease under a specific condition, not total destruction for everyone. The best revision uses careful, accurate language and should cite the study.
