world.Singerargues that prosperous people should donate to overseas aid organizations such as UNICEF or Oxfam America allmoney not needed for the basic requirements of life.\"The formula is

youexamine each side,and indicate which position you find more persuasive.  \nEND OF EXAM  \n## AP®ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION2005 SCORING GUIDELINES\n\nQuestion 3  \nThe score should reflect a judgment of the quality of the essay as a whole.Students had only 40 minutes toread and write;the essay,therefore,is not a finished product and should not be judged by standardsappropriate for an out-of-class assignment.Evaluate the essay as a draft,making certain to rewardstudents for what they do well.  \nAll essays,even those scored 8 or9,may contain occasional flaws in analysis,prose style,or mechanicsSuch features should enter into the holistic evaluation of an essay's overall quality.In no case may an essaywith many distracting errors in grammar and mechanics be scored higher than a 2.  \n9 Essays earning a score of 9meet the criteria for essays that are scored an 8 and,in addition,areespecially sophisticated in their explanation and argument or demonstrate particularly impressive controlof language.  \n8 Effective  \nEssays earning a score of 8 effectively evaluate the pros and cons of Singer's argument and clearlyindicate which position the writer finds more persuasive.The evidence used is appropriate andconvincing.The prose demonstrates an ability to control a wide range of the elements of effective writingbut is not necessarily flawless.  \n7Essays

score of 6 adequately evaluate the pros and cons of Singer's argument and indicatewhich position the writer finds more persuasive.The evidence used is appropriate.The writing maycontain lapses in diction or syntax,but generally the prose is clear.  \n5 Essays earning a score of 5 evaluate the pros and cons of Singer's argument and indicate whichposition the writer finds more persuasive.These essays may,however,provide uneven,inconsistent,orlimited evaluations of the pros and cons of Singer's argument and/or the writer's views on which positionhe or she finds more persuasive.The writing may contain lapses in diction or syntax,but it usuallyconveys the writer's ideas.  \nInadequate  \n4  \nEssays earning a score of 4 respond to the prompt inadequately.They may have difficulty evaluating thepros and cons of Singer's argument and/or indicating which position the writer finds more persuasive.Theevidence used may be insufficient.The prose generally conveys the writer's ideas but may suggestimmature control of writing.  \n3 Essays earning a score of 3 meet the criteria for a score of 4 but demonstrate less success inevaluating the pros and cons of Singer's argument and/or indicating which position the writer finds morepersuasive.The essays may show less control of writing.  \n## AP®ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION2005 SCORING GUIDELINES\n\nQuestion 3(continued)
