Question :

Inferring from the passage, the author could be most supportive of which one of the following practices?

Started 2 months ago by Shashank in

A.
A Creative Writing course that focuses on how to avoid the use of rhetoric.
B.
The critique of standardised rules of punctuation and capitalisation.
C.
A campaign demanding that a writer’s creative license should allow the breaking of grammatical rules.
D.

The availability of language software that will standardise the rules of grammar as an aid to writers.

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

The author urges writers to follow the rules of grammar: "...I urge you to consider: 'Unless he is certain of doing well, [the writer] will probably do best to follow the rules.'”

So, the author is most likely to be supportive of a tool that helps writers with grammar rules.

Note that the author is not against the use of rhetoric or critical of grammar rules. So, options A, B and C are easily eliminated.
