What are the stages of the writing process?

• A. Draft, memorize, illustrate, print, submit.
• B. Plan/brainstorm, draft, revise, edit, publish.
• C. Read, memorize, recite, test, review.
• D. Plan, copy, patch, finalise, present.

Answer: (B)

The writing process moves through clear, purposeful steps: plan or brainstorm ideas, draft a rough version, revise to improve content and organization, edit for spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and finally publish or share the finished piece. Planning helps decide what to say and how to order ideas. Drafting gets those ideas onto the page. Revising strengthens the message, flow, and structure. Editing cleans up language so it’s easy to read. Publishing shares the work with others and gives a goal to aim for. Other sequences mix in activities that aren’t part of building a strong written piece, such as memorizing, reciting, or simply copying text, which is why this set best matches how students learn to write.
