Question

Consider the following excerpt from a story written about a local boy who had won the national spelling bee a few years back and had lost his life in a road accident: "Pranay won the national spelling bee contest for the first time in the year 2007. He was awarded with a college scholarship by the governor in the year 2006." While editing, which aspect of the story will the editor have to correct?a) Internal consistency

b) Grammar
c) Wordiness
d) Verbs

Answer 1

A. Internal Consistency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Internal Consistency exemplifies the assessment that checks the reliability and authenticity of the underlying constructs. It measures the correlation between different ideas presented in the text and also examines the credibility of the information. For example, it tests the aptitudes and data displayed in the work as correct and reliable. Thus, the editor will have to correct the internal consistency as it lacks the sequence, then the editor must evaluate correlation of the data presented because it does not inform about the accident as the topic says. Then, the assessment of reliability is also crucial, as an incorrect data may create disappointments for the readers. Thus, option A is the answer.
