Question

Which task is not part of the prewriting stage of writing an autobiography?

Answer 1

Shaping the writing is the correct answer.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Shaping the writing

Explanation:

The writing process of any text including autobiographies usually implies three different stages: the prewriting stage, the writing stage, and the post-writing state. The prewriting stage includes all the processes that should be completed before writing, this includes choosing a topic, looking for information in sources, creating an outline and narrowing the topic. In the case of the writing stage, this stage implies writing the text by including the ideas of the outline as well as details and information from other sources to explain ideas and the post-writing stage that implies revising and editing the text with the objective of improving it. Thus, the task or process that is not part of the prewriting stage is shaping the text, because you can only improve the text after you have written it and you will not write in the prewriting stage, but in the writing stage and thus you will shape the text in the post-writing stage.
