Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The steps of the writing process usually follow the order of prewriting (generating ideas and planning), writing the first draft, revising (improving the content and structure), and proofreading (checking for errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation). Option A is incorrect as procrastinating is not a step in the writing process. Option B is also incorrect as spell-checking usually comes after the first draft is written and prewriting is done before writing. Option D is incorrect as revising should come before proofreading and organizing is not usually considered a step in the writing process.
