Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.50 Detect Bias & Faulty Reasoning skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A website promoting a strict study schedule says, “Only a fool studies in short sessions. Either you follow our 4‑hour nightly plan, or you don’t care about your future.”

Which revision best removes the biased language and the false dilemma while keeping the core advice?

A“Some students find longer study sessions helpful, but study plans can be flexible and should fit a student’s needs and goals.”

B“Only a fool studies in short sessions, so follow our plan.”

C“If you don’t follow our plan, you don’t care about your future.”

D“Four hours every night is the only acceptable schedule for serious students.”

Solution & Explanation:Option A removes insults (“fool”) and avoids the either/or claim. It keeps the idea that study time matters while acknowledging different workable approaches.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A principal claims, “Students are happier than ever,” based on a survey completed at an honors breakfast. The survey asked, “How satisfied are you with our school?” and most respondents selected “very satisfied.” The principal did not collect responses from students who did not attend the breakfast.

What is the most serious problem with using this survey to represent all students?

AThe question is too short.

BThe survey sample is biased because it includes mainly high-achieving students who attended the honors breakfast.

C‘Very satisfied’ is a common answer choice.

DSurveys can never measure happiness.

Solution & Explanation:Who is surveyed matters. A survey taken only at an honors event is likely to overrepresent one group’s experiences, which can create a misleading conclusion about all students.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

An op‑ed about airport expansion argues, “Either we stop the expansion completely, or we admit we value corporate profit over human health. Anyone who supports expansion is heartless.”

What is the strongest evaluation of the reasoning in this passage?

AThe op‑ed uses clear vocabulary.

BThe op‑ed includes a moral issue.

CThe op‑ed provides a conclusion.

DThe op‑ed combines a false dilemma with loaded language and personal attacks instead of weighing evidence and alternatives.

Solution & Explanation:The writer reduces the issue to two extreme moral positions and insults people who disagree. That prevents a balanced evaluation of options and evidence.
