When highlighting words or phrases, what are the things you should do? More than one answer
may be correct.
Use italics for the main ideas only
Underline at least one entire sentence at a time
Use one type of formatting at a time
Use this formatting sparingly

Answer 1

Correct choices:
- Use one type of formatting at a time
- Use this formatting sparingly

Brief why: don’t mix multiple emphasis styles (it confuses readers), and highlight only when necessary so emphasis stays meaningful. The other two options are not good rules (italics aren’t restricted to “main ideas only,” and underlining whole sentences is not recommended).
