Question

Read the paragraph that Deepak wrote to explain how he used a checklist to revise his paper.

I checked my transitions to make sure they made sense. I also reread my sentences to determine whether they were too similar in style and length. I fixed a couple to add variety. I found one or two words that needed extended definitions and added them. I made sure that I summarized all research evidence throughout the paper.

Besides the revisions listed in the paragraph, what else can Deepak do to strengthen his paper?

He should try to keep all of his sentences the same length.
He should use more than one technique to integrate his evidence.
He should make sure he has a transition for every sentence in the paper.
He should avoid extended definitions that provide too much information.

Answer 1

He should use more than one technique to integrate his evidence.

Using a mix (direct quotes, paraphrase, summary, and analysis/synthesis) and clearly explaining how each piece supports his claim will make his use of research stronger and clearer.
