Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.49 Civic Online Reasoning skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A video claims: 'This graph was removed from the government's website because it was embarrassing.' The creator shows a broken link and a screenshot of the graph. You suspect the URL structure changed during a website redesign.

Which step best tests the censorship claim?

AAssume redesign always explains missing pages.

BUse web archives and the site's current navigation/search to see if the graph exists under a new URL, and check official change logs or press releases about the redesign before concluding intentional removal.

COnly trust the creator because they found the broken link.

DAssume removal always equals censorship.

Solution & Explanation:Broken links can have many causes; checking archives and redesign documentation distinguishes censorship claims from routine website changes.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A post says: 'Our town's new recycling program reduced landfill waste by 40%.' The report shows landfill tonnage fell 40%, but total waste generated also fell because a large factory closed that year.

What is the best causal conclusion?

AThe factory closure proves recycling does not work.

BYou cannot attribute the full change to recycling without separating the effects; you need a breakdown of residential vs industrial waste and a comparison to similar years or places without the program.

CThe recycling program caused the entire 40% reduction.

DAny reduction proves the program worked perfectly.

Solution & Explanation:Mastery reasoning identifies confounders; causal claims require isolating the program's effect from other major changes.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A rumor spreads that a famous athlete donated to a controversial cause. The 'proof' is a screenshot of a donation page with the athlete's name. Donation pages can be edited by anyone in some platforms.

Which verification is most rigorous?

AAssume it is false because rumors are common.

BBelieve it because screenshots are evidence.

CLook for verifiable records: official statements, reputable investigative reporting, and platform-confirmed donation logs (if available), not just a screenshot.

DAsk a fan account to confirm.

Solution & Explanation:Editable pages and screenshots are weak evidence; rigorous verification relies on accountable records and reputable confirmation.
