Question

While editing, what would you check for? Check all that apply.

Words are spelled correctly.
Transitions connect ideas between paragraphs.
Nouns and verbs agree.
Quotation marks are used correctly.
Sentences start with capital letters and end with periods.

Answer 1

Select the first four items. You should check:
- Words are spelled correctly.
- Transitions connect ideas between paragraphs.
- Nouns and verbs agree.
- Quotation marks are used correctly.

The last item is partly right — you should check that sentences begin with capital letters and have correct ending punctuation — but they don’t always end with periods (questions end with ?, exclamations with !), so “end with periods” is too restrictive.
