Answer 1

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "edit" as "to make changes to a text, film, etc., correcting mistakes or removing some parts, especially in order to prepare it for being printed or shown."

The purpose of editing exercises is to make students proficient in proof reading by helping them to identify and correct errors in a text.

This extract has been taken from the short story 'The Bet' by Anton Chekhov.

The correctly edited extract is :

"In the prisoner's room a candle was burning dimly. The prisoner himself sat by the table. Only his back, the hair on his head and his hands were visible from outside through the window."
