  3. (3) Brainstorming ideas, and jotting them on the board
  4. (4) Giving reading material related to the topic

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) Revising the drafts of their partners

  1. Process writing moves through stages: pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing and publishing.
  2. Pre-writing is about gathering ideas: talking with a partner, brainstorming and reading related material.
  3. Revising a partner's draft can happen only after a draft exists, so it belongs to a later stage.

Trap: (4) reading material may look like a reading task, but it feeds ideas before writing.
