Correct choices:
- The student analyzes the writing prompt to establish a purpose for writing.
- The student creates an outline with topics, reasons, and supporting evidence.
- The student synthesizes information from articles about Abraham Lincoln’s campaign.
Why: Prewriting includes analyzing the assignment, researching and combining information to form ideas/thesis, and organizing those ideas into an outline. Editing/MLA citation and formally citing sources are later drafting/revising tasks, so they’re not prewriting.
