during a group meeting when they are each reading a draft of their formal report, Madiha and Anne realize that sometimes they have the word "there" correctly and sometimes the word should be "their". They use their word processor's "find" feature to help them locate all the places they used "there" so they can determine if it is correct or not. Which part of the writing oricess does this activity represent? A.planning B. gathering C. Revising D. Editing
They are revising the work and i believe editing as well. I chose D. Am I right?
Yes. D. is correct.
Yes, you are correct. The activity described in the question represents both the revising (C) and editing (D) stages of the writing process.
During the revising stage, the focus is on reviewing and improving the content, organization, and clarity of a draft. In this case, Madiha and Anne are reviewing their draft to check if they have used the word "there" correctly or if it should be "their." This process of using the word processor's "find" feature to locate all occurrences of "there" is part of the revision process.
Once they have identified the instances of "there," they can move on to the editing stage. Editing involves fixing errors related to grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word usage. In this case, Madiha and Anne are using the word processor's "find" feature to verify if they have used "there" correctly or if they need to change it to "their," which is a grammatical correction. This activity aligns with the editing stage of the writing process.
Therefore, your answer of D (Editing) is correct, but it is worth noting that the activity also corresponds to the revising stage (C) as they are reviewing and improving their draft.
