Accepted Answer

The type of words chosen by the writer is a defining characteristic of their writing style.

Question 2

The word _____________ is used to describe the writer's attitude or relation toward the subject matter.

Accepted Answer

Tone is the correct choice as it specifically refers to the writer's attitude or relation toward the subject matter. Paraphrasing refers to restating a passage in different words, succinct refers to brevity and conciseness, and style refers to the writer's unique way of expressing themselves.

Question 3

The word ____________ means saying a lot in a few words.

Accepted Answer

The word "succinct" means expressing a lot in a few words. Option A, paraphrasing, refers to rewording a statement in a different way. Option C, tone, refers to the attitude or emotion conveyed in a message. Option D, style, refers to the manner in which something is written or expressed.

Question 4

____________ is "stealing" the words and the ideas of another without properly documenting the original source and how that source was used.

Accepted Answer

Plagiarism is the act of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own without giving credit to the original source. It is considered a form of academic dishonesty and is not tolerated in academic and professional settings.

Question 5

_______________ is restating an author's ideas in one's own words and giving proper credit to the original source.

Accepted Answer

Paraphrasing involves restating an author's ideas in one's own words and giving proper credit to the original source. A citation is simply acknowledging the source, borrowing refers to using someone else's work without proper attribution, and coping (spelled incorrectly) can refer to either copying or stealing someone else's work without permission.

Question 6

An early step in the writing process during which a writer organizes notes, makes lists of ideas, outlines thoughts, and makes certain that bibliographic citations are complete is called __________________.

Accepted Answer

The description given in the question matches the prewriting stage, which is the initial step in the writing process where a writer might brainstorm ideas, make outlines, organize notes, and ensure that all necessary sources are properly cited. Freewriting is a technique used during this stage to generate ideas, but it is not the overall term for this step in the writing process. Draft writing comes after prewriting, where a writer puts ideas into a more cohesive and structured format. Post writing refers to the steps taken after the initial draft is completed, such as revising, editing, and proofreading.

Question 7

_________ is an initial step in the writing process in which the writer tries to get his or her ideas down on paper as quickly as possible, not worrying about grammar or spelling.

Accepted Answer

Freewriting is a technique in which the writer writes down their thoughts and ideas without worrying about grammar, spelling, or structure. The purpose is to get as many ideas down on paper as quickly as possible, without the fear of making mistakes or sounding foolish. It is a useful way of generating ideas, and is often used as a preliminary step in the writing process.

Question 8

A step in the writing process, part of rewriting, in which a writer adds ideas or evidence, and deletes, rearranges or changes ideas to improve clarity and better communicate meaning is called ______________.

Accepted Answer

Revising is the stage in which a writer focuses on improving the content and organization of their writing. This often involves adding new ideas, deleting unnecessary ones, and rearranging or changing existing ones. Drafting is the stage of creating a first version of the writing, editing is the stage of correcting grammar and spelling errors, and sketching is not a term commonly used in the writing process.

Question 9

A step in the writing process, part of rewriting, in which a writer cleans up and tightens the language, checks grammar (e.g., verb agreement, usage), adjusts sentence length, and reorganizes paragraphs to improve communication and strengthen style is called ____________.

Accepted Answer

This step is commonly referred to as editing, which involves checking and correcting grammar, syntax, and other technical aspects of writing to improve clarity and flow. It is part of the larger process of revising, which also includes making broader changes to the content and structure of a piece of writing. Drafting involves creating an initial version of a piece of writing, while sketching is a separate process used in visual arts.

Question 10

A summary of a research project's findings placed at the beginning of a report for an applied, nonspecialist audience, usually a little longer than an abstract is called __________.

Accepted Answer

The executive summary is a summary of the main findings and conclusions of a research project, written for an applied, nonspecialist audience, and placed at the beginning of a report. It is usually longer than an abstract and provides key information about the research project to readers who may not have the time or expertise to read the entire report.

Question 11

A mistake when writing qualitative research in which a writer creates too large a separation between empirical details and abstract theorizing is called the ___________.

Accepted Answer

The mistake described is called the error of segregation, meaning that the empirical details and abstract theorizing are kept too separate from each other, which can result in a lack of coherence in the research.

Question 12

The _________ is a method of organizing a field research report in which the author begins broadly with a topic and then increasingly focuses it more narrowly and specifically.

Accepted Answer

The term "zoom lens" refers to the method of gradually narrowing the focus of a field research report, starting with a broad topic and then zooming in to focus on specific details. The other answer choices (executive summary, summary, précis) refer to different components of a research report, but do not describe the process of gradually focusing the report.

Question 13

Strategies and skills of locating appropriate funding sources and preparing quality proposals to fund research are called ___________.

Accepted Answer

Grantmanship refers to the ability to identify appropriate funding sources and prepare well-written proposals to secure funding for research projects. The other options, executive summary and zoom lens, are not related to the process of securing funding for research. "Money acquiring" is not a commonly used term in the context of research funding.

Question 14

The person who is primarily in charge of research on a project that is sponsored or funded by an organization is called ___________.

Accepted Answer

The principle investigator (PI) is the person who holds primary responsibility for the design, conduct, and reporting of research funded by an organization. They are usually the lead author on papers resulting from the study and responsible for managing the research team. The "granter" is not a common term in research, and "head writer" and "head researcher" are not specific enough to describe this role.

Question 15

Error of Segregation: the error when writing ______ research in which the writer creates too _____ a separation between empirical details and abstract theorizing.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Error of Segregation: the error when writing...

Question 16

Accepted Answer

The steps in the writing process are prewriting, composing, rewriting, and postwriting. Postwriting is not considered one of the actual steps in the writing process, but rather refers to any activities that occur after the written work is completed, such as editing, publishing, or sharing with others.

Question 17

_______________ is a step in the writing process in which a writer cleans up and tightens the language, checks grammar, adjusts sentence length, and reorganizes paragraphs to improve communication and strengthen style.

Accepted Answer

Editing is the step in the writing process where a writer cleans up and tightens the language, checks grammar, adjusts sentence length, and reorganizes paragraphs to improve communication and strengthen style. Proofreading is a separate step that comes after editing, where a writer looks for spelling and punctuation errors. Revising involves making significant changes to the content and structure of a piece of writing, while rewriting involves starting from scratch or changing the entire piece significantly.

Question 18

__________ is the person who is primarily in charge of research on a project that is sponsored or funded by an organization?

Accepted Answer

The person who is primarily in charge of research on a project that is sponsored or funded by an organization is called the principal investigator.

Question 19

is an initial step in the writing process in which the writer tries to get his or her ideas down on paper as quickly as possible, not worrying about grammar or spelling.

Accepted Answer

Free-writing is a technique where a writer jots down ideas as quickly as possible, without worrying about grammar or spelling. This helps to overcome writer's block and allows the writer to generate ideas and get their thoughts on paper. Pre-writing involves activities such as brainstorming and outlining to organize ideas, whereas composing is the actual process of writing. Editing, on the other hand, comes after the initial draft is completed and involves checking and correcting errors.
