Question

4. A teacher grades American history exams and returns them to the students. She asks if there are any

questions about the test. One student insists the exam was unfair because of some of the questions.
The teacher says it's important to study hard, that all the students had the same test, and that students
should be expected to remember everything they have learned about history from other teachers and
always be prepared to be tested on it.
Infer what the student's original claim might have been and what counterclaim the teacher made in
response. (4 points)

Answer 1

"This test isn't fair because some of the questions because we never learnt this specific stuff in class," the student might have said at first. It's possible that the teacher responded "Once you leave school, it is your responsibility to continue studying and do your own research about the topic. Everybody got different grades on the quiz and thats based of how hard you study."
