Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.20 Word Meaning, Rhetoric, and Tone skill assessments:
A medical ethics essay discussed “triage” during disasters, when resources are limited. Triage means prioritizing care based on urgency and likelihood of benefit, not on a person’s social status. The author emphasized that the term can sound cold, but it names a necessary decision process under constraint.
A technology analysis said that content platforms “optimize for engagement,” then added, “and engagement is not a synonym for well-being.” The author explained that outrage and anxiety can keep people scrolling, even when the experience leaves them unhappy. The sentence uses a tight definition move to separate two concepts often treated as the same.
A report on drought adaptation described “managed retreat” from flood-prone coastlines. Instead of rebuilding repeatedly, governments buy properties and relocate infrastructure inland. The report noted that the term sounds clinical, which can soften the emotional reality of leaving a home.
