Which stage involves the revision of written drafts after initial writing?

• A. Editing Stage
• B. Ellipsis
• C. Embedding
• D. Empowerment

Answer: (A)

The editing stage. After finishing a first draft, you revise to improve clarity, structure, and style, and to fix grammar and punctuation. Editing focuses on refining content, tightening sentences, and ensuring the overall message is clear and coherent, which is different from the initial drafting where ideas are first put down. The other terms don’t fit because an ellipsis is a punctuation mark used to show omitted material, embedding refers to inserting material within text, and empowerment is a general concept not specific to the writing process.
