10 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.
Vocabulary used: revision, reverse outline, evidence, qualification, revision.
Problem 1
Answer and explanation
A change to meaning, evidence, organization, or effect. Revision checks meaning before conventions. Compare the claim with the evidence: is it too broad, too narrow, or aimed at the wrong question? A grammatically polished claim that everyone agrees is still unsupported by a small voluntary questionnaire.
Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.
Problem 2
Answer and explanation
Limit the approval claim to the actual questionnaire responses, add the resident’s access concern as a counterpoint, and replace “free” with the listed 300-token cost. These changes correct scope, include a missing perspective, and accurately represent resources. Punctuation changes alone would leave those reasoning problems intact.

Problem 3
Answer and explanation
This claim is misleading. Audit numbers, attribution, and limits. The trial’s listed costs total 300 tokens, not zero; the resident’s letter identifies an access concern. Correct the conclusion and preserve the source’s actual scope. Do not leave an overclaim simply because it sounds persuasive. Limit the approval claim to the actual questionnaire responses, add the resident’s access concern as a counterpoint, and replace “free” with the listed 300-token cost. These changes correct scope, include a missing perspective, and accurately represent resources. Punctuation changes alone would leave those reasoning problems intact.

Problem 8
Answer and explanation
A plan made from an existing draft showing what each paragraph actually does. The unit case offers this example to examine: Limit the approval claim to the actual questionnaire responses, add the resident’s access concern as a counterpoint, and replace “free” with the listed 300-token cost. These changes correct scope, include a missing perspective, and accurately represent resources. Punctuation changes alone would leave those reasoning problems intact.

Problem 10
Answer and explanation
Reverse outline the draft by stating each paragraph’s job. Find repeated reasons, unexplained evidence, and missing responses to plausible concerns. Reordering can solve a reader’s problem that changing adjectives cannot fix.

These changes correct scope, include a missing perspective, and accurately represent resources. Punctuation changes alone would leave those reasoning problems intact.
