In this revision of the test bank, I have updated all of the questions to reflect changes in Soci
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
ology, Eighteenth Edition. The questions are tagged to indicate one of four levels of learnin
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
g that move from lower-level to higher-level cognitive reasoning. The four levels:
u u u u u u u u u u u
Recollection: a question involving recall of key terms or factual material
u u u u u u u u u u
Understanding: a question testing comprehension of more complex ideasu u u u u u u u
Application: a question applying sociological knowledge to some new situation
u u u u u u u u u
Analysis: a question requiring identifying elements of an argument and their interrelation

The 195 questions in this chapter‘s test bank are divided into four types. True/False questions a
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
re the least demanding. As the table below shows, two-thirds of these are
u u u u u u u u u u u u
―Recollection‖ questions, and all of them fall within the lowest three levels of cognitive reason
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
ing (―Recollection,‖ ―Understanding,‖ and ―Application‖). Multiple-choice
u u u u u
questions span a broader range of skills (most are ―Recollection‖ questions and the rema
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
inder are divided among the three higher levels). Short-
u u u u u u u u
answer questions are spread across the highest three levels of reasoning. Finally, essay qu
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
estions are the most demanding because they require analysis and other higher levels of c
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
ognitive reasoning. u
