Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.3 Claims and Evidence in Sources skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which claim is best supported by all three stimuli?

AAll three stimuli show the federal government withdrawing from citizens' lives.

BThe stimuli are unrelated because only one mentions a formal constitutional amendment.

CThe civil rights law proves that welfare policy caused the Civil War.

DAcross different eras, federal policy was used to redefine or protect aspects of citizenship, welfare, and equal access.

Solution & Explanation:All three examples show federal action affecting citizenship, welfare, or access. The best claim synthesizes a pattern across eras without forcing a false causal link.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which evaluation is best supported by the draft?

AThe evidence is unrelated because farm prices and debts cannot affect political demands.

BThe reasoning is unsupported because it never explains how money supply connects to debts.

CThe evidence and reasoning connect logically to the claim because falling prices and debt burdens help explain currency-reform demands.

DThe claim is an opinion only because it includes no economic evidence.

Solution & Explanation:The draft offers economic evidence and explains the connection between prices, debt, and money supply. The correct evaluation identifies a supported line of reasoning.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which claim is best supported by the visual?

AThe visual shows that the Republican candidate won more states in 1932 than in 1928.

BThe Great Depression era produced a major electoral shift toward the Democratic candidate in 1932.

CThe visual proves that economic conditions had no relationship to voter behavior.

DThe visual shows identical election results in 1928 and 1932.

Solution & Explanation:The map and bar chart show a sharp shift in states and electoral votes between 1928 and 1932. The best claim stays within what the visual supports and does not claim sole causation.
