Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.86 Evaluate Speaker's Claims skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A speaker says: Students should practice presentations in small groups before presenting to the class. In a trial, students who practiced in groups made more eye contact and spoke with clearer volume. What claim is most strongly supported?

AEvery student will become a professional speaker.

BPresentations should never be graded.

CSmall-group practice can improve some presentation behaviors.

DSmall groups are useful only in math class.

Solution & Explanation:The trial evidence supports specific presentation behaviors: eye contact and volume. It does not support broad claims about professional speaking or grading.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A speaker argues: A school garden newsletter would keep volunteers informed. Last season, three workdays were missed by volunteers who said they did not know the dates. The newsletter would also make plants grow taller. Which statement best distinguishes support?

AThe missed workdays support the communication claim, but not the plant-growth claim.

BThe missed workdays prove plants will grow taller.

CThe evidence supports only a claim about cafeteria menus.

DBoth claims are unsupported because volunteers are mentioned.

Solution & Explanation:Volunteer confusion about dates supports the need for better communication. It does not provide evidence about plant height.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A speaker says: The school should create a multilingual book shelf. It would help students see their home languages in the library. A survey found that 14 students wanted books in Spanish, Arabic, or Vietnamese. Which claim is supported but limited?

AEvery student wants the same three languages.

BSome surveyed students want books in languages other than English.

CThe shelf will include every language in the world.

DBooks in English should be removed.

Solution & Explanation:The survey supports a limited claim about some students and the listed languages. It does not support every student, every language, or removing English books.
