Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 7.58 Speaking, Listening, and Academic Discussion skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A group is stuck because two students keep talking past each other. Student 1 argues about fairness. Student 2 argues about safety. They do not realize they are using different criteria.
What is the best move to help them build on each other's ideas?
APick one criterion and ignore the other.
BTell them to argue louder.
CSwitch to a completely different topic.
DName the two criteria (fairness and safety) and ask the group to evaluate solutions using both, so the conversation connects.
Solution & Explanation:Identifying the different criteria helps synthesize viewpoints and supports a more productive, multi-factor discussion.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A team is presenting findings from a survey with multiple-choice questions. They report: "Students prefer Option A." A listener asks how many students chose each option. The presenter only shows percentages, not counts, and the total number varies by question due to skipped responses.
Which response best improves transparency in the presentation?
AHide skipped responses so the chart looks cleaner.
BUse only the biggest percentage and ignore totals.
CAdd the total number of responses for each question and include counts along with percentages to clarify the data.
DRemove the survey results completely.
Solution & Explanation:Transparent data reporting includes sample sizes and counts, especially when totals change, so the audience can interpret results accurately.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Students are discussing a set of conflicting eyewitness accounts in a history unit. One account is detailed but written years later; another is brief but written the same day. A student claims, "More detail means it's more accurate."
Which response best challenges that assumption using disciplinary literacy?
ALonger is always more accurate.
BDetail can help, but memory and time can change accounts. We should consider when each was written and possible reasons for differences.
CShorter is always more accurate.
DAccuracy doesn't matter in history.
Solution & Explanation:It explains that reliability depends on context (time, purpose, memory), not just length - disciplinary historical thinking.
