Which is a sequence of steps in the writing process?

• A. Brainstorming
• B. Editing but not drafting
• C. Prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, publishing
• D. Reading comprehension

Answer: (C)

Understanding how writing comes together involves moving through planning, drafting, revising, editing, and sharing. The sequence that lists prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, publishing matches that flow from planning ideas to presenting a finished piece. Prewriting helps generate and organize ideas, drafting produces the initial version, revising improves structure and content, editing fixes language, and publishing makes the work public. While brainstorming is a common prewriting activity, or editing can overlap with revising, those aspects alone don’t form the full, ordered sequence. Reading comprehension isn’t part of the writing process steps.
