Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Writing
Emily is going to write a report about the phases of the moon. Which source would be the most useful for her?
A chart outlining the solar system
A book about the solar system
A book about the moon phases
A chart outlining Earth's rotation around the sun
A book about the moon phases
A source is something that is used to learn information on a topic. In this case, Emily needs something that will help her learn about the phases of the moon so that she can write a report on it. Of our answer choices, the best answer is a book on the moon phases.
A chart outlining the solar system or a chart outlining the Earth's rotation around the sun won't provided information about the various moon phases. Also, a book on the solar system might mention the phases of the moon, but it will also have a lot more information that is not relevant to Emily's report.
Example Question #2 : Writing
Charlie is planning to write a report on various climates throughout America. Which source would be the most useful for him?
An article that compares and contrasts various areas and their climates
A map that is color coded based on temperature
A map of the country
An article that discusses various areas around the world
An article that compares and contrasts various areas and their climates
A source is something that is used to learn information on a topic. In this case, Charlie needs something that will help him learn about the climates of different areas in America.
Of our answer choices, the best answer is an article that compares and contrasts various areas and their climates. Though a color coded map based on temperature might be something to add into a report, it would not provided enough information to write a complete report because a climate covers more than just temperature. A map of the country would not give Charlie the information that he is needing, nor would an article that just discusses different areas around the world. This report is just focused on America, so there would be a lot of irrelevant information in that article, and it would most likely include more details about various areas, instead of focusing just on climate.
