Question

Why shouldn’t students rely only on spell-checkers while proofreading?

Spell-checkers only catch errors that involve .
a. misspelled word
b. proper noun
c. homophomes
d. word capitalization
They can only tell if words are spelled correctly, not if they are used correctly. There is, in fact, no better strategy than proofreading by doing a close reading.
In particular,
a . using context clues
b. reading aloud
c. citing evidence
d. using "track changes"
is effective because it makes it easier to detect comma splices and run-on sentences.

Answer 1

Misspelled, reading aloud

Answer 2

Answer:

a. misspelled word

b. reading aloud

When proofreading a text, there is no better way than doing a close reading. In this reading, you should pay attention to issues such as spelling and grammar. You should also pay attention to how the text flows, because this can help you identify comma splices and run-on sentences. Although using a spell-checker can sometimes help, their ability to catch errors is limited, and therefore, should not be used as the primary mechanism for proofreading.
