Hi!

• Editing is NOT the time to look for problems with sentence structure. The correct answer for the first task is C.
• During the editing/proofreading phase of writing, you should evaluate the grammar and spelling you used when writing. The correct answer for the second task is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

• When you're asked to edit a text, you are supposed to revise if the subject matter is the correct one, if the text is clear for the target reader to easily understand it and if the whole text is coherent. You have to look at the bigger picture at first, then you will take a look at details such as sentence structure.
• During the proofreading phase of writing you should evaluate the grammar and spelling you used when writing. In this phase, you will have to revise each sentence from the text to make sure the words don't have spelling mistakes, or that there are not errors in the typing. Also, you will revise the grammar, make sure all the words are well used.
