Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.48 Evaluate Sources & Claims skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student is trying to judge a claim about screen time and sleep. Source A: a district survey shows students who use screens after 10 p.m. report less sleep. Source B: a sleep lab article says blue light can delay sleep, but routines and caffeine also matter. Source C: a blog says, "Phones destroy sleep for everyone, every night." Which conclusion is best?

AThe survey alone shows every student is harmed in exactly the same way

BSource C proves phones are always the only cause of poor sleep

CBecause several factors exist, no claim at all can be made

DLate-night screen use can be one factor affecting sleep, but the strongest conclusion should stay cautious and consider other factors

Solution & Explanation:Source A and Source B support a careful claim about screen use as one factor, while Source C is too absolute and unsupported.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Two blogs repeat the same sentence saying a certain snack boosts memory, but neither blog names the study or links to evidence. Which evaluation is best?

ABlogs become peer-reviewed when they agree

BTwo matching blogs prove the snack works

CRepetition across similar weak sources does not count as strong proof

DCopying the same wording makes the claim scientific

Solution & Explanation:If the blogs are repeating the same unsupported statement, readers still do not have strong evidence for the claim.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A paragraph argues that biking to school improves health. Which added source and evidence would best strengthen the paragraph?

AA classmate's slogan and a song lyric

BA city safe-routes report and a pediatrician's summary of exercise benefits

CA comic strip and a race poster

DA bicycle store coupon and a glossy photo of a new bike

Solution & Explanation:A safe-routes report and a pediatrician's explanation provide relevant evidence about both biking conditions and health benefits.
