The best answer is actually letter A. Revising means improving the overall quality of a piece by changing parts of it, while editing means refining a piece by eliminating errors and improving clarity.

Explanation:

Even though revising and editing convey similar ideas - to the point where they are used interchangeably -, they are different words carrying different meanings.

Editing is the process of correcting the text, changing anything that might be an obstacle to reading it. These changes include more straightforward aspects, such as spelling, grammar, sentence structure and punctuation, as well as more intricate aspects such as making complex concepts simpler, trimming excess words, replacing dense language with clear wording etc.

Revising, on the other hand, refers to looking at the text with a new perspective - revise basically means to look or to see again. Just like editing, it aims for clarity, but in a deeper sense. The changes made to the text will affect how readers perceive and relate to it, how they understand the ideas discussed. Some examples would be: adding more detail; eliminating unnecessary elements; adding new thoughts; reorganizing ideas etc. A revised text often looks much different than the initial one.

Taking the explanation above into consideration, I believe the best option to be letter A. Revising means improving the overall quality of a piece by changing parts of it, while editing means refining a piece by eliminating errors and improving clarity.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
