Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.61 Evaluate Speaker's Reasoning and Evidence skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which evaluation best identifies the problem in the speaker's reasoning?

AThe reasoning is conclusive because age of a policy is the same as effectiveness.

BThe speaker gives no information about how long the policy has existed.

CThe flaw is that the speaker analyzes too many current outcomes.

DThe speaker appeals to tradition instead of showing that the policy currently works well.

Solution & Explanation:This evaluation is strongest because it names the reasoning problem and cites the evidence. The speaker relies on the policy's ten-year history, but the claim still requires current evidence about effectiveness and fairness.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which evaluation best identifies the problem in the speaker's reasoning?

AThe reasoning is strong because dismissing alternatives makes a claim clearer.

BThe speaker proves the claim by comparing all possible interventions.

CThe speaker uses an either-or frame by treating one solution as the only serious option without comparing alternatives.

DThe evidence is irrelevant because achievement cannot be affected by school time.

Solution & Explanation:This evaluation is strongest because it names the reasoning problem and cites the evidence. The speaker relies on dismissal of alternatives without comparison, but the claim still requires comparative evidence among possible achievement supports.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which evaluation best identifies the problem in the speaker's reasoning?

AThe reasoning is conclusive because a teacher's belief proves every student's outcome.

BThe speaker relies on a broad authority claim and does not support the word always with evidence.

CThe speaker gives no claim about reflection or mental health.

DThe flaw is that privacy drawbacks are evaluated with too much evidence.

Solution & Explanation:This evaluation is strongest because it names the reasoning problem and cites the evidence. The speaker relies on a teacher's broad statement, but the claim still requires evidence about outcomes, privacy, and limits.
