◉ Identify the statement that best describes what the writer
assumes about the intended audience for the following informative
passage.
Many vertebrates, such as newts, can renew damaged parts of their
bodies, but mammals like us cannot. The only example of a mammal
being able to regrow a large, complex organ is antler growth. Deer
antlers are large structures made of living bone, cartilage, blood
vessels, and fibrous tissue, covered in skin. Each year antlers grow in
the summer (they are said to be "in velvet"), die in the fall (the hard
bone is used for fighting), are shed in the winter, and then
regenerate in the spring. Unlike the regenerative processes of newts,
antler growth does not involve reversal of the differentiated state,
but rather local activation of stem cells. Researchers are seeking to
understand this process, hoping it may someday be possible to
activate organ renewal of damaged human tissues.
Answer: The audience has some knowledge of science and biology
◉ Identify the answer that best describes the context and genre
suitable to the following purpose.
,Peyton is writing a paper analyzing a book she read on the topic of
feminism. The audience is her women's studies professor.
Answer: Academic. Genre: Literary. Analysis:
◉ Identity which of the following activities is an example of
brainstorming.
Answer: Setting a timer and writing all ideas.
◉ Identify the activity that highlights a recursive aspect of the
writing process.
Answer: Reading and responding to your own writing
◉ Choose which of the following statements accurately describes
free writing.
Answer: - Free writing involves writing about a topic for a set of
period time without stopping
- You should not worry if the ideas do not seem to connect or there
are spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors
- Unlike brainstorming and listing, free writing uses sentences
,- Focus free writing begins with a specific question, image, or point
◉ Identify the correct response to the following passage.
After writing several drafts, your writing project's introduction,
main point, examples, organization, and conclusion are clear. Which
stage of the writing process would you typically move to next?
Answer: Proofreading
◉ Identify what the writer in the following scenario should have
done differently in her questioning session.
Lana chose pollution as her broad subject for an informative report.
She asked the six journalistic questions and was troubled by the
answers she found. However, she was only able to answer three of
them. She then chose to further explore the topic of ocean pollution
and its negative effect on marine life so that she could craft an
argument to convince readers to reduce their plastic waste.
Answer: Found answers to all six journalistic questions
◉ Choose which of the following statements about generating ideas
is correct.
Answer: - Techniques for generating ideas are not intended to help
you organize your thoughts into logical or cohesive structure.
, - It is better to spend a few minutes testing an idea in the generating
ideas stage than to realize later that the idea is not right for your
project
- You can usually benefit from using a combination of strategies for
generating ideas
- When generating ideas, the goal is to record as many ideas as
possible without worrying about the rules of writing.
◉ Identify the statement that best describes what the writer
assumes about the intended audience for the following
argumentative passage.
Women often fear getting "too big" from strength training. This is
perhaps the most common myth about muscle fitness, because it is
very unlikely that women will develop male-size muscles. The
primary barrier women face in increasing their muscle mass
through hypertrophy (increase in muscle-fiber size) is hormone
related. Testosterone, a hormone that helps to increase muscle-fiber
size, is present to a much lesser degree in women than men. In fact,
women have as much as 7-8 times less testosterone than men—a
distinct disadvantage in terms of building large muscles.
Answer: The audience is skeptical of the argument
