c. decide on a topic for the essay
a. create an outline for the essay
e. write a draft of the essay
d. revise and rewrite the draft of the essay
b. skim and edit the essay for surface errors
In order for you to begin any piece of writing or planning for your essay, you first need to know what you're writing about so deciding on a topic is first. Second, it is helpful to have a general outline or road map for your essay. This helps you to stay on topic with your paragraphs as well as point out any immediate problems with organizational structure. The next is to write a rough draft for the essay. Once you have the draft and know exactly how it all goes together, you can go back and revise for major errors and better language. It's not worth the time to check for minor errors if you end up making major revisions at this stage. Once all of the major revisions are completed, then it's important to spell and grammar check the essay for things that may have been overlooked.
Explanation:
relative clause
it modifies noun phrase by some grammatical tools
example
my friend who is coming from America is coming to the dinner
here who is used to indicate the noun phrase
subject verb agreement
A subject and a verb must agree, even when other words or phrases come between them.
example
The flock of geese is flying south for the winter.
The subject is flock, so the verb should be is flying.
Answer: a couplet
Explanation: In a sonnet, a two line stanza is typically referred to couplet...and it's usually structurally at the ending of the poem...in the case of a fourteen line poem (sonnet).
For this I would choose the first choice, A. "Eileen bought pants but not a new jacket."
A complex sentence is formed by an independent and a dependent clause. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can still be a sentence on it's own. For example, "Eileen bought pants." could be a valid sentence.
A dependent clause is the opposite, and is a part of a sentence that can not still be a sentence on it's own. "But not a new jacket." is not a valid sentence.
I hope this was helpful.
