Be specific and provide evidence to support your answer. Do not make vague or general statements.

Practice Test

Here is a practice test that you can use to test your skills.

Passage:

The death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment that has no place in a civilized society. It is a barbaric practice that has been shown to be ineffective in deterring crime. In fact, studies have shown that the death penalty actually increases the murder rate. The death penalty is also a very expensive punishment. It costs more to execute a prisoner than it does to keep them in prison for life. For all of these reasons, the death penalty should be abolished.

Questions:

1. What is the main point of the passage? 2. What is one argument that the author makes against the death penalty? 3. What is one assumption that the author is making? 4. What is a flaw in the author's argument?

**Answers:**

1. The main point of the passage is that the death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment that has no place in a civilized society. 2. One argument that the author makes against the death penalty is that it is ineffective in deterring crime. 3. One assumption that the author is making is that the death penalty is a barbaric practice. 4. One flaw in the author's argument is that they do not provide any evidence to support their claim that the death penalty increases the murder rate.
