• A. Among
• B. Below
• C. Around
• D. Above

Correct answer: A

• A. List all ideas that come to mind without worrying about whether they are good or on-topic.
• B. Note where you got your information; save that step for the end.
• C. Avoid stopping frequently to look up grammar rules and words you don't know how to spell.
• D. Get the ideas down on paper, even if some sentences sound awkward or contain errors.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct strategy during the drafting phase is to get the ideas down on paper, even if some sentences sound awkward or contain errors. It is essential to focus on capturing thoughts and concepts first, as editing and refining can be done in subsequent stages. Choice A is incorrect because it suggests listing all ideas without worrying about their quality or relevance, which may result in a disorganized draft. Choice B is incorrect as noting sources typically occurs during the research or referencing phase, not drafting. Choice C is incorrect because stopping frequently to look up grammar rules and spellings can disrupt the flow of ideas during drafting, which should prioritize content creation over minor details.

5. Which version of the sentence is correct grammatically?

• A. I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.
• B. I had saw her before, but yesterday was the first time I seen her indoors.
• C. I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I seen her indoors.
• D. I had saw her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct sentence is: 'I had seen her before, but yesterday was the first time I saw her indoors.' In this sentence, the correct past participle form of 'see' is used, which is 'seen' in the past perfect tense ('I had seen') and 'saw' in the simple past tense ('I saw'). Choices B, C, and D contain incorrect past participle and past tense forms of the verb 'see,' making them grammatically incorrect. Choice A is the only option that uses the correct past participle 'seen' and the correct simple past tense 'saw.' Therefore, it is the grammatically correct version of the sentence.
