Explanation:

First Question (Ethos in Compare and Contrast Essay)

In academic writing, especially compare - contrast essays, ethos (writer's credibility and tone) is formal and academic. A compare - contrast essay is an academic piece, so the ethos can't be casual. It doesn't depend on the writer's identity or just the subject; academic writing has a formal tone. So the correct option is "is always formal and academic."

• Revision: Involves improving content, structure, etc., not just proofreading errors.
• Brainstorming: Is for generating ideas before writing.
• Drafting: Is creating the initial essay.
• Editing: Specifically includes proofreading for errors like grammar, spelling, punctuation. So the correct option is "Editing".

Answer:

A. is always formal and academic (assuming the first option is A, if options are labeled as such; if not, the option text "is always formal and academic")
