Wisconsin FORT (Foundations of Reading) Practice Test

What is the last stage of the writing process?

1. Revising

2. Editing

3. Publishing

4. Drafting

The correct answer is: Publishing

The correct answer is C. Publishing is the last stage of the writing process. This is when the writer finalizes their work and makes it available to the intended audience. Publishing involves formatting, printing, or sharing the work through various mediums such as in print or online. Revising (A), editing (B), and drafting (D) are all important stages in the writing process, but they occur before publishing. Revising involves making changes to the content and organization of the writing. Editing focuses on correcting grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. Drafting is the initial stage where the writer gets their ideas down on paper without worrying too much about structure or style.
