✍️ Sample LEAP Questions & Answers
1. A student wants to argue that online learning improves student performance. Which evidence would be LEAST useful?
A single personal blog post is an anecdotal, non-peer-reviewed source and provides weak, subjective evidence.
2. Read the sentence: "The gentle breeze rustled the leaves, creating a soothing melody in the quiet forest." What literary device is used here?
Personification is a literary device where human qualities or actions are attributed to inanimate objects or abstract ideas. In the sentence, the 'breeze rustled the leaves, creating a soothing melody,' which gives the non-human breeze and leaves the human-like ability to create music.
3. A store marks up items by 25%. If an item costs $48 wholesale, what is the selling price?
A 25% markup on $48 is $48 × 0.25 = $12; the selling price is $48 + $12 = $60.
4. A model shows Earth, the Sun, and Moon with the Moon between Earth and the Sun but slightly above the orbital plane. What event does this represent?
Because the Moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbital plane, most new moons pass above or below the Sun-Earth line without causing an eclipse.
5. Which grade level is often considered the 'gateway' assessment in Louisiana because promotion decisions can be tied to LEAP results?
Grade 3 is the key gateway assessment in Louisiana where reading proficiency results can affect promotion to Grade 4.
6. Which element is NOT a required component of a strong evidence-based body paragraph?
Strong evidence-based paragraphs require a claim, evidence, and analysis; personal anecdotes are generally not required and may weaken academic arguments.
