Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.60 Argumentative Writing skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision best improves coherence and style without weakening the argument?

AMake every paragraph one sentence long.

BRemove all transitions.

CAdd unrelated jokes between paragraphs.

DVary transitions and use sentence bridges that refer back to the previous idea (e.g., “Beyond budgeting,…” “Just as important,…”).

Solution & Explanation:Coherence improves when transitions show relationships and avoid monotony. Varied, meaningful bridges connect ideas smoothly while keeping the argument focused.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

ADefine the problem with specific incidents or injury reports, distinguish between speeds/areas, and propose clear rules (slow zones or bike-lane use).

BSay scooters are ugly.

CRepeat “dangerous” louder.

DRemove the claim.

Solution & Explanation:Strong arguments define terms and use evidence. Adding incident data and clear, targeted rules improves clarity, relevance, and coherence.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A“Benchmarks can provide useful snapshots, but fewer, higher-quality assessments paired with teacher-designed checks can still guide instruction while saving time.”

B“Teachers don’t know what they’re doing.”

D“Testing is evil.”
