Unit review questions
1. Proposal: offer a board-game hour. Which supplied evidence directly supports testing member interest? A survey asks 24 members, and 15 say they would use it. Other notes concern wall color and pencil length.
2. “Ten respondents liked the new folder design, so the design will double everyone’s writing speed.” What is the unsupported leap?
3. A flyer says “Our best workshop ever!” A log records “12 visits; repeated visitors not identified.” Which statement is supported?
4. Proposal: hold a story circle outside. Concern: the only planned area is in use by another group. Which response addresses it?

Use the skills in a new task

Write a bounded recommendation from this original set. Survey: “14 of 22 respondents say they like a puzzle session.” Promotional flyer: “Puzzles guarantee perfect concentration!” Usage log: “One trial drew 8 visits; repeat visits were not tracked, and concentration was not measured.” Room note: “The proposed room is already booked.” Recommend a next step, compare the sources, expose the flyer’s gap, and answer the room concern.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Use liking as interest evidence for respondents.
  • Distinguish visits from unique people.
  • Reject the unmeasured concentration guarantee with a specific reason.
  • Address the booked room with a conditional next step.
Compare with a model response

The club could explore another puzzle trial because 14 of 22 respondents report liking that option. The flyer is promotional, and its concentration guarantee exceeds the evidence: neither the preference survey nor usage log measures concentration. The log records eight visits, which may include repeat visitors. The booked room is a real scheduling constraint, so a further trial should depend on confirming an available room or time. These sources support exploration, not a promise of attendance or improved concentration.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
