Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.42 Fact, Opinion, and Reasoned Judgment in Historical Accounts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A historian studies two waves of migration. In Wave 1, letters mention famine. In Wave 2, job ads and wage records rise. The historian writes, “The main motive shifted from survival to opportunity.”
Which option is the historian’s reasoned judgment?
AThe main motive shifted from survival to opportunity.
BLetters mention famine in Wave 1.
CJob ads and wage records rise in Wave 2.
DMigration happened in two waves.
Solution & Explanation:The historian synthesizes different evidence for each wave to interpret a shift in motives. That synthesis is a reasoned judgment.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A student writes: “Because a city built a big stadium, everyone supported the government.” The evidence available is only the stadium’s construction record.
Which statement best reflects sound historical reasoning?
AA construction record is a fact, but it does not prove everyone’s political support.
BThe stadium proves everyone supported the government.
CIf a building exists, it always shows public opinion.
DSupport can be measured by building size.
Solution & Explanation:A record of construction shows what was built (fact). It cannot represent everyone’s beliefs without additional evidence (polls, letters, protests, elections).
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A historian writes: “The new border policy ‘saved the nation,’ according to officials.” The historian then adds, “However, refugee records show many families were separated.”
Which statement is most clearly reported opinion from a source, not the historian’s verified fact?
ARefugee records show families were separated.
BRefugees are people who flee.
CThe historian used two sources.
DOfficials said the policy ‘saved the nation.’
Solution & Explanation:The phrase is officials’ claimed justification (opinion/propaganda). Refugee records are evidence about outcomes.
