Which of the following is the final step of the writing process?

This is because generating ideas is often the first step in the writing process, whether it's brainstorming, outlining, or freewriting. Before any other actions can take place, the writer needs to have a clear sense of what they want to communicate and how they want to structure their writing.

The word that defines "subterranean" based on the prefix "sub-" is B. Underground.

It follows all the rules of punctuation compared to the rest.

A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction. Example: "I like my job, but I like this more." This sentence has two independent clauses, "I like my job" and "I like this more," joined by the conjunction "but."

Checking for spelling is a step in the proofreading process. Proofreading involves reviewing a written document for errors and making corrections as necessary. This can include checking for spelling errors, grammar mistakes, punctuation errors, and formatting issues.

The correct use of "fewer" and "less" is important in proper grammar and usage. "Fewer" is used when referring to items that can be counted, while "less" is used for quantities that cannot be counted. In this case, "people" is a countable noun, so "fewer" is the correct word to use. Additionally, "effect" is the correct noun to use in this sentence, as it refers to the result or consequence of the action, while "affect" is a verb meaning to influence or have an impact on.

The sentence written correctly is: "The lizard has the ability to alter its coloration to blend in with the foliage." The word "alter" is spelled correctly, and the pronoun "its" is used correctly to show possession. The word "altar" in options B and D is a different word that means a raised platform used for religious or ceremonial purposes, and the word "it's" in option B is a contraction of "it is," which does not make sense in the context of the sentence.

"Ran" is the correct past tense of "run." The word "runned" is incorrect, "running" is the present participle, and "rant" is a different word.

An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses a sudden or strong emotion or feeling. In this case, "ouch" is used to express pain or discomfort, which is a sudden sensation, and is not grammatically connected to the rest of the sentence. Therefore, "ouch" is an interjection.

The sentence that demonstrates proper subject-verb agreement is D. "Physics is a difficult subject to learn." In this sentence, the singular subject "Physics" agrees with the singular verb "is."
