Answer:
Malcolm is a professional writer. He has already published many best-sellers. One of his friends expressed interest in knowing more about his writing process, so Malcolm showed his friend a few of his first drafts. The friend observed that the drafts were nothing like the final book, and the writing seemed amateurish compared to Malcolm's published work. When asked about it, Malcolm said that it was the normal way of things. In this scenario, the following is the reason of this:
A) Malcolm would have revised his work many times before he was satisfied with it.
Explanation:
- The option A is best reason because generally a writer doesn't break his or her flow while writing and that is what Malcolm would have done. After, he would have revised his work many times until he was satisfied.
- The option B is not correct as it is not possible to change the book of a writer entirely by the publishing company.
- The option C is also incorrect as the drafts were not long and cohesive because his friend found the draft amateurish but not perfect.
- The option D is incorrect as it is not true that writers only create first draft and other people produce all other subsequent drafts.
