Answer: c
Explanation:
Why it's not a:
Who says an outline needs at least 10 items? I sometimes start with just a few scribbled notes on napkins that turn into intricate and detailed stories. A few characters' names, some important events, or maybe some random details are enough to start writing.
Why it's not b:
The voice you use in your writing depends on what kind of a piece you're doing. If it's comedic and you want to make the reader laugh, you probably shouldn't use the passive voice or it'll sound un-funny. If it's informational, you'll want to use a scholar voice, not a passive voice.
Why it's not d:
If all your sentences have the same length and structure, then your writing will be boring. For example, do you like: <em>"I went to my aunt's house today. She had a dog. It's name is Cooper. It was brown and fluffy. It was so cute." </em>or <em>"Today, mom and I went over to my aunt's house. She got a new dog, a fluffy brown poodle named Cooper. It was so cute! I asked my aunt why she named it Cooper, and she said it was because her grandmother's dog who passed away was named Cooper and she wanted to honor him. Isn't that sweet?" </em>Definitely #2, right?
Why it's not e:
If you think your rough draft is great and represents all your ideas and elements beautifully, then go for it. Submit it. Publish it. Second, third, and higher numbered drafts are encouraged (to correct yourself), but of course not mandatory.
I hope this helped!
