question 25
1 pts
why is revising an important step in writing an essay?
to make the essay longer
to make your teacher happy
to change the thesis statement
to improve clarity, coherence, and effectiveness

Explanation:

• For the first question: An argument's strength lies in logical reasoning. Emotional appeal can be manipulative, claim - number doesn't ensure validity, and length isn't a measure of quality.
• For the second question: Revision aims to enhance an essay's clarity (ideas are understandable), coherence (smooth flow), and effectiveness (achieves its purpose). Making it longer or pleasing a teacher are not core reasons. Changing the thesis is a rare case, not the general purpose.

Answer:

• First question: The logical reasoning behind claims.
• Second question: To improve clarity, coherence, and effectiveness.
