Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.7 Text vs. Media skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Read the written excerpt and the two adaptation notes. Written excerpt: "After the fire, Talia planted beans in the blackened garden because the ground was still warm. 'Something will take,' she said, though no one answered." Audiobook: the reader speaks Talia's line softly but firmly while faint bird sounds return in the background. Multimedia version: a slideshow first shows the charred garden, then a close-up of green shoots, and Talia's line appears at the end in bright green text. Which claim best compares how all three versions treat hope after loss?

AAll three versions present hope in exactly the same way with no meaningful differences.

BThe text presents hope as stubborn and uncertain, the audiobook makes that hope sound personally resilient, and the slideshow makes hope visible through images of regrowth.

CThe text is hopeless, the audiobook turns the scene into comedy, and the slideshow ignores the garden completely.

DThe text and audiobook both erase the fire, while the slideshow focuses only on destruction.

Solution & Explanation:The written version shows hope in uncertain words and action, the audiobook adds emotional strength through voice and sound, and the slideshow makes recovery visible through changing images.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In the written story, the narrator lies to the audience several times. In the audiobook, a nervous laugh follows each lie. In the film version, the narrator smiles with easy confidence while lying. Which comparison is best supported?

AThe film removes the narrator from the story, so there is no issue of trust at all.

BThe audiobook makes the lies seem shaky and easier to doubt, while the film can make them seem smoother at first.

CThe audiobook hides every lie, but the film tells the truth instead.

DThe audiobook and film both make the lies equally obvious in exactly the same way.

Solution & Explanation:The nervous laugh hints at insecurity in audio, while a confident smile can make the lie seem more believable at first in film.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

The text describes the city as "a throat of smoke." In the video adaptation, viewers see an aerial shot of crowded rooftops while muffled sirens echo below. Which comparison best explains how the setting feels threatening in each version?

AThe video explains the metaphor directly with printed labels on the screen.

BThe text uses metaphor to make the city seem alive and choking, while the video uses scale and sound to overwhelm the viewer.

CThe text and video both make the city feel welcoming and safe.

DThe text removes danger from the city, while the video invents danger for the first time.

Solution & Explanation:The metaphor gives the city a choking, living quality in words, while the video creates threat through vast visuals and siren-filled sound.
