Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.46 Paired Text Synthesis skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student argues that the pilot results mean Rivport should scale up the plan to send text-message reminders for library due dates immediately with no changes. Which response best critiques that argument using BOTH texts?

ABecause Text 2 mentions messages had to avoid sharing private book titles, none of the pilot data matters, including the Text 1 result that late returns fell by 46% after text reminders started and the Text 2 evidence that some patrons opted out, so the library kept email reminders as a backup.

BText 1 gives one measured result (late returns fell by 46% after text reminders started), but it also notes the pilot had limits. Text 2 reports some patrons opted out, so the library kept email reminders as a backup, and warns that cause and effect are uncertain because messages had to avoid sharing private book titles. So the claim that sending text-message reminders for library due dates is "proven" to work everywhere goes beyond what the evidence shows.

CText 1 admits limits, but Text 2's evidence that some patrons opted out, so the library kept email reminders as a backup shows the plan is guaranteed; therefore Rivport should scale up the plan to send text-message reminders for library due dates instantly without more study.

DText 1 reports late returns fell by 46% after text reminders started and Text 2 reports some patrons opted out, so the library kept email reminders as a backup, so the pilot proves that sending text-message reminders for library due dates will work the same way everywhere, no matter the conditions.

Solution & Explanation:Correct answer: B. It cites Text 1's measured result (late returns fell by 46% after text reminders started) and Text 2's evidence (some patrons opted out, so the library kept email reminders as a backup) and explains why the caution that messages had to avoid sharing private book titles keeps the evidence from "proving" the claim. The other choices overgeneralize, throw out all data, or ignore the stated limits.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A blogger claims, "This proves that creating a public art map with audio clips will work the same way everywhere." Which response best evaluates that claim using evidence from BOTH texts?

AText 1 admits limits, but Text 2's evidence that some locations had weak signal, so downloads were offered for the audio clips shows the plan is guaranteed; therefore Maplehaven should scale up the plan to create a public art map with audio clips instantly without more study.

BText 1 reports the map was opened 1063 times by visitors over a month and Text 2 reports some locations had weak signal, so downloads were offered for the audio clips, so the pilot proves that creating a public art map with audio clips will work the same way everywhere, no matter the conditions.

CText 1 gives one measured result (the map was opened 1063 times by visitors over a month), but it also notes the pilot had limits. Text 2 reports some locations had weak signal, so downloads were offered for the audio clips, and warns that cause and effect are uncertain because artists reviewed scripts to keep descriptions accurate. So the claim that creating a public art map with audio clips is "proven" to work everywhere goes beyond what the evidence shows.

DBecause Text 2 mentions artists reviewed scripts to keep descriptions accurate, none of the pilot data matters, including the Text 1 result that the map was opened 1063 times by visitors over a month and the Text 2 evidence that some locations had weak signal, so downloads were offered for the audio clips.

Solution & Explanation:Correct answer: C. It cites Text 1's measured result (the map was opened 1063 times by visitors over a month) and Text 2's evidence (some locations had weak signal, so downloads were offered for the audio clips) and explains why the caution that artists reviewed scripts to keep descriptions accurate keeps the evidence from "proving" the claim. The other choices overgeneralize, throw out all data, or ignore the stated limits.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which response best uses BOTH texts to make a cautious, evidence-based claim about publishing an open-data "budget in pictures" page, noting what the evidence does and does not show?

AText 1 admits limits, but Text 2's evidence that some details were oversimplified, so a link to full numbers was added shows the plan is guaranteed; therefore Rivgate should scale up the plan to publish an open-data "budget in pictures" page instantly without more study.

BBecause Text 2 mentions visuals must have clear labels and honest scales, none of the pilot data matters, including the Text 1 result that readers answered 40% more questions correctly about the budget after viewing charts and the Text 2 evidence that some details were oversimplified, so a link to full numbers was added.

CText 1 gives one measured result (readers answered 40% more questions correctly about the budget after viewing charts), but it also notes the pilot had limits. Text 2 reports some details were oversimplified, so a link to full numbers was added, and warns that cause and effect are uncertain because visuals must have clear labels and honest scales. So the claim that publishing an open-data "budget in pictures" page is "proven" to work everywhere goes beyond what the evidence shows.

DText 1 reports readers answered 40% more questions correctly about the budget after viewing charts and Text 2 reports some details were oversimplified, so a link to full numbers was added, so the pilot proves that publishing an open-data "budget in pictures" page will work the same way everywhere, no matter the conditions.

Solution & Explanation:Correct answer: C. It cites Text 1's measured result (readers answered 40% more questions correctly about the budget after viewing charts) and Text 2's evidence (some details were oversimplified, so a link to full numbers was added) and explains why the caution that visuals must have clear labels and honest scales keeps the evidence from "proving" the claim.
