what tip in writing reminds us of the importance of systematic and sensible arrangement of data or flow of ideas?
A.Gather your facts
B.Lay a good outline
C.Know your audience
D.Emphasize your point
Answers
The correct answer is B. Lay a good outline.
Let us examine the other options.
A. Gather your facts- Simply having all facts in place does not mean that the text is well written. The content needs to be arranged. Therefore, this is not the correct answer.
C. Know your audience- This is an important part of writing. Only if you know the audience well, will you be able to use the right difficulty level of vocabulary. This information will also affect the kind of examples you use. However, it will not ensure a logical flow of information.
D. Emphasize your point- This option deals with each point separately. Each point needs to be explained and expressed well. Yet, if the connection between the points is not clear or logical, the ideas will not flow well
B. Lay a good outline- In order to lay out a good outline, all the other options are considered. The writer needs to take into consideration the audience she is writing for, check the facts and lay sufficient emphasis on them. However, in order to do so, the writer needs to organise all these pointers in a logical manner so that one idea leads to the next one without breaking the flow. Thus, option B is the right answer.
