Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.106 Research Projects Plan → Draft → Revise skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Draft paragraph about social media and protest movements: “First, the policy changed trade rules. The change was controversial. A diary describes shortages. Later, the law was repealed. The diary writer supported the repeal.” The student wants a coherent paragraph with clear source connections.

Which revision best improves coherence without adding new facts?

AReorder and link ideas: introduce the controversy over social media and protest movements, explain the trade-rule change, use the diary as evidence of shortages, and end by connecting the diary writer’s stance to the repeal.

BAdd strong opinions like “social media and protest movements was terrible” to make the paragraph more convincing.

CDelete the diary reference so the paragraph mentions fewer sources about social media and protest movements.

DKeep the order about social media and protest movements but replace transitions with exclamation points for emphasis.

Solution & Explanation:Coherence improves when sentences are ordered logically and evidence is clearly connected to claims. Good revision uses transitions and clear references rather than extra emotion or deleting evidence.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Two historians disagree about social media and protest movements. Historian A emphasizes economic pressures. Historian B emphasizes political choices and beliefs. The student wants to introduce the debate fairly before arguing a position.

Which sentence best represents both interpretations fairly?

AHistorian A is correct about social media and protest movements, and Historian B is clearly biased.

BEveryone agrees social media and protest movements had only one cause.

CBecause historians disagree about social media and protest movements, the topic cannot be researched.

DHistorians debate social media and protest movements, with some highlighting economic pressures and others highlighting political decisions and beliefs.

Solution & Explanation:A fair sentence summarizes the main viewpoints without dismissing one side or claiming everyone agrees.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Draft sentence in a report about social media and protest movements: “Because one town prospered, social media and protest movements helped every community.” But the student’s sources include one local success story and a national study showing mixed results.

Which revision best matches the evidence and improves reasoning?

A“One town’s success suggests social media and protest movements could create benefits, but broader data shows outcomes varied, so the impact should be described as uneven across communities.”

B“One town prospered, so social media and protest movements helped every community, no matter what other sources say.”

C“social media and protest movements harmed everyone everywhere, even if the local source shows success.”

D“The evidence about social media and protest movements is mixed, so the claim should be specific and limited.”

Solution & Explanation:The original overgeneralizes from one example. The best revision limits the claim and reflects the mixed evidence from multiple sources.
