Question

Omar is an aspiring novelist. When he attends a creative writing seminar, the instructor tells Omar that learning how to critique his own writing will help him improve his novel. Why is the instructor correct?

A.
Critique is a term that refers to the critical evaluation of academic writing rather than fiction.
B.
A creative text can only be critiqued by those who had a part in writing it.
C.
All writers benefit from knowing how to critically evaluate their own work.
D.
Writing can only get critiqued after it is published.

Answer 1

C.

All writers benefit from knowing how to critically evaluate their own work.

Step-by-step explanation:

A can't be correct because critics have been known to critique many fiction novels.

B can't be correct because as stated in A people who do the most critiquing aren't the ones that wrote the text

D can't be correct because you have to critically evaluate your work before getting it published to increase the number of people who enjoy or benefit from that text

Hope this helps!
