Animal testing is important because it provides valuable scientific breakthroughs.
Which reason best supports the central claim?
(1) A number of lifesaving drugs and surgical procedures are the direct products of animal
testing.
Which claim is arguable?
(1) Universal health care is a basic human right.
Which argumentative statement is a claim of definition?
(1)
Students on a college campus were recently surveyed about the upcoming presidential
election. By and large, they agreed with the statement "College affordability is one of our
top priorities." Many students stated that they had a difficult time finding their education.
Which prediction can most likely be made based on this scenario?
(1) Students will vote for presidential candidates who prioritize lowering tuition costs.
Which claim is not defensible?
(1) George W. Bush was not as talented a politician as his father, George H. W. Bush.
Imagine you want to convince the local school board that eliminating elective courses for
struggling students is a bad idea. Which appeal would most likely move this audience to
support your cause?
(1) A poll of the student body shows that 88 percent of struggling students feel more motivated
to come to school because of their electives.
Speaker 1: Studies show that most college students stay home on Election Day. As people
who are actively engaged in politics, why do you think that is? Do you feel that politicians
speak to your concerns? I would argue that young voters like you stay home because they
feel that their votes cannot make a difference. But I believe that young voters are the most
crucial ones of all.
Speaker 2: As I look at all of you, I see a group of bright young people who know that
politics matters. You vote. But most of your fellow students do not. Why not? Do they not
care about issues that matter? I think they do care, and I think they have strong opinions
on the politicians they support. I simply believe that the voting laws in this country make it
too difficult for young people living away from their parents to register to vote so that they
can make a difference.
Which sentence best describes the difference between the statements?
(1) They make different conclusions.
,When developing your argument, why should you consider the opinions of your audience?
(1) To understand what information will best persuade your audience
I recently interviewed a variety of young people about the issues that matter most to them,
and the results were revealing. Here are some representative examples. Mariah, a 23-year-
old college student, has been heavily involved in the Black Lives Matter movement. Victor,
an 18-year-old freshman, engaged in a sit-in in the college president's office to encourage
the school to stop investing in fossil fuels. Yet another student, Mei-Lin, spoke about the
need to make college more affordable for a more diverse group of students.
Which generalization can most logically be made from this passage?
(1) Young people are politically engaged.
If you convinced your teacher to give you an extension on an assignment, what would this
situation be an example of?
(1) Rhetoric
Which statement describes a major advantage of a federal system of government over a
unitary system?
(2) It prevents a single national government from holding all of a country's power.
A violent criminal group uses military force to take control of entire regions of a country.
The government is unable to stop it, allowing the group to exert control over the people
living in the regions it rules. Though the people hate these criminals, they cannot stop them
from taking over their homelands.
(2) It has power but not authority.
Which statement best describes the relationship between power and authority?
(2) Authority justifies a state's use of power over its citizens.
Which option best summarizes what is expected of citizens in a democracy?
(2) To grant the government its basic authority to rule
Which diagram correctly arranges systems of government in order from least powerful to
most powerful?
(2)
Speaker 1: The government must have absolute power to enact whatever policies are
needed to make the country safe and stable.
Speaker 2: All governments oppress their people; there should be no government at all.
Speaker 3: The government should be fairly powerful, as long as its powers are clearly laid
out in a governing document.
Speaker 4: No government should have more power than our most respected religious
leaders.

(2) It is important, as it gives the government legitimacy.
Which statement best describes a difference between a democracy and a republic?
(3) Citizens in a democracy can either directly or indirectly influence the government, while
citizens in a republic can only indirectly influence government through elected officials.
Which statement best describes an advantage of direct democracy over indirect
democracy?
(3) It can better prevent political leaders from serving their own interests.
Which statement best describes a difference between the political systems in ancient Greece
and feudal Europe?
(3) Ancient Greece was more reflective of the philosophy of direct democracy.
A democratic government allows its citizens to vote directly on most issues. However, the
citizens cannot simply pass any law they want. The government has a constitution
guaranteeing that certain rights can never be denied to any citizen. These guarantees were
included to make sure the most popular political parties would be unable to pass laws
limiting the political rights of their opponents.
Which principle of democracy does the government described in the passage most directly
represent?
(3) Accepting majority rule but insisting on minority rights
What is one of the basic principles of democracy?
(3) Ensuring that all citizens have equality under the law
A government relies on elected officials to make important decisions. Once every two years,
citizens are able to vote for leaders to serve as their representatives in a national
legislature. These representatives spend all of their time researching, proposing, and
debating the best policies for the country. After a new policy has been reviewed,
representatives vote on it, with the majority determining the outcome.
The government described in the passage most reflects the features of which type of
democracy?
(3) Indirect democracy
Which statement best summarizes the role citizens play in a democracy?
(3) Citizens are expected to actively participate in the political process.
