List at least one thing to check for when you're checking the clarity and professionalism of a document.

Answer 1

- Grammar and spelling: fix typos, subject–verb agreement, and common errors so the text reads professionally.
- Concise, clear sentences: remove wordiness and split long sentences so ideas are easy to follow.
- Consistent tone and style: ensure formality, voice (active vs. passive), and terminology suit the audience and remain consistent.
- Logical structure and headings: organize with a clear intro, body, conclusion, and use headings/subheadings to guide readers.
- Proper formatting and layout: check fonts, spacing, margins, bullet/number styles, and alignment for a polished look.
- Correct punctuation and capitalization: ensure commas, periods, hyphens, and capitalization are used properly.
- Accurate facts and citations: verify data, names, dates, and include sources or references where needed.
- Readability and accessibility: use plain language, short paragraphs, and consider headings, alt text for images, and accessible fonts.
