Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) To keep from missing errors that are in plain sight, try perception tricks such as reading pages backward, placing your finger under each word and reading it silently, covering everything but the line you're currently reading, or reading the document aloud.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Block out distractions and focus as completely as possible on your proofreading. Avoid reading large amounts of material in one sitting and try not to proofread when you're tired.
