Read this excerpt from the story "There’s a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" and answer the question

.
EXCERPT: I took the first seat. He stood right beside me, and held on to the railing with his left hand. With his right hand he unrelentingly kept whacking me with that umbrella. At first, the passengers exchanged timid smiles. The driver began to observe us in the rearview mirror. Little by little the bus trip turned into one great fit of laughter, an uproarious, interminable fit of laughter. I was burning with shame. My persecutor, impervious to the laughter, continued to strike me.

According to the narrator, the passengers witness his attacker hitting him, which is NOT usually a humorous event. In this excerpt the passengers most likely laughed because they _____. Select all that apply.

A)shared an inside joke about the narrator with the bus driver
B)assumed that the two men were promoting a local comedy show
C)thought the umbrella was a hilarious way to get a man’s attention
D)observed the narrator acting as if an invisible opponent were assaulting him
E)were witnessing a scene that caused a nervous discomfort relieved by laughter

Which phase of the writing process involves checking the content to see if the essay is sufficiently detailed and adequately sup
Kay [80]
I would say the editing phase, as I have done a lot of writing and multiple people around me refer it as that, but the revising stage also covers editing, which doesn't make much sense. I guess that it depends on what your class taught you. Sorry if this doesn't help you, but my best answer would be the editing, since it covers going back through a paper to check for errors. Do you know what the exact definition of "editing" and "revising" is and could you get back to me with that?
