Answer: B) Checking your final draft for typos and bad grammar

Explanation: In the past, proofreaders would place corrections or proofreading marks along the margins. In modern publishing, material is generally provided in electronic form, traditional typesetting is no longer used and thus (in general) this kind of transcription no longer occurs. Consequently the part played by pure proofreaders in the process has almost vanished: the role has been absorbed into copy editing to such an extent that their names have become interchangeable .Modern copy-editors may check layout alongside their traditional checks on grammar, punctuation and readability.
