Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.47 Evaluate Conflicting Claims skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which option best evaluates the strength of the claim that PBL raised achievement?

AText 1 is strongest because teacher rubrics always measure achievement best.

BBoth texts are equal because they both use rubrics and tests.

CText 2 is strongest because it questions whether the rubric is comparable across years and uses an external benchmark to test achievement.

DNeither is useful because achievement cannot be measured.

Solution & Explanation:Text 2 checks whether the evidence measures the same thing over time. If the rubric changed and scoring training changed, rubric scores are not a consistent achievement measure. An external benchmark provides more relevant evidence for achievement claims.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which option best reflects the most defensible conclusion from Text 2’s evidence?

AThe rule produced a small reduction in landfill trash but created new problems with contamination, so the overall waste impact is mixed.

BTotal waste clearly dropped a lot, because liners were ordered less.

CThe rule failed completely, because contamination increased.

DThe evidence proves ordering data is useless in every case.

Solution & Explanation:Text 2 uses a more direct measure (pounds per student) and reports trade-offs. That supports a nuanced conclusion rather than a simple success claim based on purchasing.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which additional piece of information would best help evaluate whether the happiness finding is reliable?

APhotos from club meetings.

BThe names of the new clubs.

CHow many posters advertised the clubs.

DWhether the survey was answered by a representative group, including students with low attendance, or whether nonresponse biased the results.

Solution & Explanation:To judge reliability, you must know whether the survey sample represents the whole student body. If many unhappy or absent students did not respond, the evidence may overstate happiness gains.
