Choice
B) has incorrect agreement as 'cookies' is plural and should be paired with 'were'. 'Ricotta cheese and pesto tastes great on pizza' (
Choice

Rationale: The word 'outside' is the adverb in the sentence. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, 'outside' modifies the verb 'go' by indicating the location where the action is taking place.

Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'We' is a pronoun, 'should' is a modal verb, and 'go' is the main verb in the sentence, none of which function as adverbs.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The subject 'She' is singular, so the correct verb form is 'is.' In this sentence, the verb needs to agree with the singular subject 'She.' 'Are' (
B), 'were' (
C), and 'am' (
D) are all incorrect as they are plural or the wrong form for the subject 'She.'

Rationale: The correct strategy during the drafting phase is to get the ideas down on paper, even if some sentences sound awkward or contain errors. It is essential to focus on capturing thoughts and concepts first, as editing and refining can be done in subsequent stages.
Choice A is incorrect because it suggests listing all ideas without worrying about their quality or relevance, which may result in a disorganized draft.
Choice B is incorrect as noting sources typically occurs during the research or referencing phase, not drafting.
Choice C is incorrect because stopping frequently to look up grammar rules and spellings can disrupt the flow of ideas during drafting, which should prioritize content creation over minor details.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: Repeat.' 'Reiterate' means to say something again, making 'repeat' a synonym. 'Refine' means to improve, 'relegate' means to dismiss to an inferior position, and 'regale' means to entertain or amuse, which do not align in meaning with 'reiterate.'
