Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.53 Timed Writing and On Demand Responses skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

You have a 4-week research project due on Friday of Week 4. You must submit: question, annotated sources, outline, draft, final. You also have sports practice most evenings in Week 4.

Which schedule is most realistic and effective?

AFinish sources and annotations by end of Week 1, complete outline and most drafting in Week 2, revise in Week 3, and reserve Week 4 for final edits and formatting.

BSpend Weeks 1-3 choosing fonts and title designs, then start researching after the deadline.

CDo nothing until Week 4, then write the entire paper the night before it is due.

DWrite the final draft in Week 1 before finding sources, then look for sources in Week 4.

Solution & Explanation:Long projects require early research and drafting so you have time to revise. Finishing major work before the busiest week reduces stress and improves quality.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Prompt: Analyze how a repeated object (the cracked watch) develops the theme in a short story. Draft thesis options need to be precise and arguable.

Which thesis best fits the prompt and shows depth?

AThe narrator feels things, and the theme is about life in general.

BThe cracked watch symbolizes the narrator's strained relationship with time, reinforcing the theme that regret grows when people avoid confronting the past.

CThe story has a watch in it, and watches are important in stories.

DThe watch is cracked, which proves the author dislikes watches.

Solution & Explanation:A strong analytical thesis explains what the symbol represents and how it connects to a theme. Choice B makes an arguable interpretation and links symbol to theme.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Editing under time: You have one minute to polish this sentence: "The committee, which met on Tuesday, decided, after a long discussion, to postpone, for now, the vote."

Which edit improves readability without changing meaning?

AThe committee decided to postpone the vote, which met on Tuesday, after discussion.

BThe committee met on Tuesday and decided after a long discussion to postpone the vote for now.

CPostpone the vote the committee Tuesday discussion decided.

DThe committee, Tuesday, decided, postpone, vote.

Solution & Explanation:Removing unnecessary commas and tightening phrasing makes the sentence easier to read while keeping the same meaning and key details.
