After moving a section, what is the best way to check its new joins?
- Read both joins aloud and add a bridge wherever the change of topic sounds abrupt.
- Read the moved section carefully on its own and check whether its internal argument follows a clear order.
- Read both joins aloud and check their references, explanations and reasoning.
Draft: 'The college should offer evening workshops. They would help daytime workers attend. However, they should run only when enough tutors are available.' Which summary preserves its claim and limit?
- Offer evening workshops for daytime workers, but only when enough tutors are available.
- Offer evening workshops for all workers, whether or not enough tutors are available.
- Offer daytime workshops for evening workers, but only when enough college tutors are available.
When major structural changes are still needed, detailed sentence editing is usually best left for later.
Circle one: True False
Analysis appears before the definitions it needs. How can you test and carry out a section swap without rewriting both sections?
- Test the order in the outline, move the text, then repair the joins.
- Move the definitions straight before the analysis, leaving outline checks until later.
- Swap the headings and rewrite the text to fit, keeping the outline in its original order.
Question: Should buses run later? Draft claim: later buses would help shift workers get home. A section reports that the last buses leave before factory shifts end and that later services would cost more. Which revision addresses both points?
- Keep only the timing finding, because the draft's purpose is to support the proposed later bus services.
- Keep both findings and explain whether the cost limits the recommendation for later buses.
- Keep both findings but leave the cost out of the judgement.
Summary: 'Keep the sports hall open later only if staffing is affordable.' Draft sections assess demand and staffing, but the conclusion recommends later hours whatever staffing costs. The conclusion matches the summary.
Circle one: True False
After a cut, a paragraph concludes that a policy reduced queues, but the evidence and reasoning for that conclusion are gone. What repair addresses the problem?
- Replace the removed evidence with a reference to the essay's opening claim.
- Qualify the wording with 'perhaps' but keep the same conclusion about shorter queues without adding evidence.
- Restore supporting evidence and reasoning, or change the conclusion to fit what remains.
A writer polishes a section's sentences, then removes that section because it does not serve the essay. Why does that polishing give no benefit to the final essay?
- The time was lost because structural revision requires every retained section to be rewritten.
- The edited sentences were cut, so their improvements do not appear in the final essay.
- The time was lost because the new outline changed the meaning of the removed section's sentences.
