Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.47 Evaluate the Strength of Evidence skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An article claims: “Eating organic food means you consume no pesticides.” The article cites a label on a product and a friend’s statement. The editor says the evidence is weak and the claim may be inaccurate.

Which evidence would best replace the weak evidence and also check the accuracy of the claim?

ATesting data from a reliable agency or lab comparing pesticide residues on organic and conventional foods, along with regulations explaining what “organic” allows and prohibits.

BA sentence that says pesticides are “gross.”

CA celebrity saying they eat organic.

DA photo of an organic sticker.

Solution & Explanation:To evaluate the claim, you need credible testing data and factual rules about organic standards. Labels and opinions don’t prove “no pesticides.”

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A report claims: “Public libraries increase local economic growth.” The report uses: • A statement that libraries are “valuable” • A case study of one city that expanded its library system and later grew economically • No information about other factors like new businesses or population changes The author needs stronger evidence.

Which evidence would best strengthen a claim about economic impact?

AA photo of a library building.

BA multi-city study comparing towns with and without library expansions, controlling for population and job trends, and measuring outcomes like local business openings or employment rates.

CA list of popular library programs.

DA quote from a librarian about loving books.

Solution & Explanation:Economic impact claims need broader comparisons and controls for other influences. A multi-city controlled study is more sufficient and credible than descriptions or photos.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A student claims: “Switching school lunches to locally sourced food improves nutrition.” The student cites a menu change and says, “Local food is healthier.” The teacher asks for evidence that is specific and relevant to nutrition.

Which evidence would best strengthen the claim?

BA map showing farms near the school.

CNutrient analysis comparing the old and new lunch menus (calories, fiber, added sugar, sodium) showing the local-sourced menus improved nutrition indicators.

DA photo of vegetables on a truck.
