Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.95 Evaluate a Speaker s Evidence skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

In a school board pitch, a speaker argues that replacing all paper permission slips with a phone app will improve equity. She cites that ‘everyone has a smartphone now’ and that apps are ‘more modern.’ A parent group provides a survey of 600 families showing 14% do not have reliable smartphone access or data plans, and another 9% share one phone among several family members. The speaker replies that families can use the app at the library, but she does not address library hours or transportation.

Which evidence most strongly challenges the speaker’s claim that a phone app improves equity?

AApps are more modern.

BFamilies can use the library.

CA survey showing many families lack reliable smartphone access or must share one phone.

DPermission slips are annoying.

Solution & Explanation:Equity means equal access. Survey data showing significant access barriers directly challenges the claim that moving to an app would be fair for all families.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In a city meeting, a speaker argues that a curfew for teens will reduce vandalism. She shows police data that vandalism reports are highest between 10 p.m. and midnight. However, the data also shows most vandalism suspects were adults, not teens. She responds that ‘teens are still out at that time,’ but offers no evidence linking teens to the incidents.

Which conclusion is best supported by the evidence given?

AA teen curfew will definitely reduce vandalism.

BVandalism happens only at night because teens are outside.

CVandalism reports peak late at night, but the evidence does not show teens are the main cause of those incidents.

DAdults never commit vandalism.

Solution & Explanation:The time-of-day data supports when vandalism is reported, but the suspect data shows adults are often responsible. There’s not enough evidence to connect teens specifically to the vandalism.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

In a debate on school funding, a speaker argues that cutting arts programs will improve math scores. He points out that two schools with fewer arts classes have higher math scores than his school. He does not consider that those schools also have smaller class sizes and more math tutoring. Another speaker notes that his comparison uses only two schools and doesn’t analyze other variables.

Which statement best explains why the comparison is weak evidence?

AComparing only two schools ignores other factors like class size and tutoring, so it doesn’t show that fewer arts classes cause higher math scores.

BMath scores can’t be compared across schools.

CArts programs always lower math scores.

DTutoring is unrelated to math.

Solution & Explanation:The evidence is based on a small, possibly cherry-picked sample and doesn’t control for confounding factors, so it cannot support a causal claim about arts cuts improving math.
