Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.50 Informative Explanatory Writing skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A writer is explaining how courts use precedent. The draft says: “Judges must follow old cases.” The writer wants to add a qualification so the explanation is accurate.

Which revision is best?

AJudges must follow every old case from anywhere forever.

BJudges often follow precedent from higher courts, but they may distinguish past cases when the facts or legal questions differ.

CJudges never look at old cases at all.

DJudges choose outcomes by flipping a coin.

Solution & Explanation:Precedent matters, especially from higher courts, but courts can distinguish cases. The correct revision adds that necessary nuance for accuracy.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In an informative biography, a writer wants to avoid inserting personal opinions. The draft sentence says: “Marie Curie was the greatest scientist ever.”

Which revision best maintains an objective tone?

AMarie Curie was the greatest, and everyone should agree.

BMarie Curie was cool, and I wish I met her.

CMarie Curie conducted pioneering research on radioactivity and became the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two scientific fields.

DMarie Curie was the greatest because she was the greatest.

Solution & Explanation:Objective tone uses verifiable facts rather than subjective superlatives. The correct revision replaces opinion with specific achievements that can be documented.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A writer wants to explain why some inventions spread faster than others. The draft includes three factors: cost, compatibility with existing habits, and network effects. The writer wants the best sentence to introduce the network-effects section.

Which sentence best introduces that section?

ASome technologies become more valuable as more people use them, creating a network effect that accelerates adoption.

BInventions are interesting, and people like new things.

CCost matters because money is important.

DHabits are habits, and compatibility is compatible.

Solution & Explanation:A section introduction should define the key factor and show its role. The correct sentence explains what network effects are and why they speed adoption.
