Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Before proofreading, you first need to evaluate and revise your text to make sure it expresses your message effectively. Once the editing and revision process is complete you need to go through a production process. After the production process, you can go through a final proofreading stage.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Make sure you understand the writer's intent before you begin suggesting or making changes. If you try to edit or revise without knowing what the writer hoped to accomplish, you run the risk of making the piece less effective, not more.
