Which activity is part of the prewriting process?

A. proofreading to correct grammatical errors

B. doing research for information about a topic

C. rechecking the facts presented about a topic

D. writing the first draft of the essay

B. doing research for information about a topic

The pre-writing topic is used to find the topic, search for evidence, do some research and all the planning.

The correct answer is B. doing research for information about a topic.

A, C, and D are definitely not part of prewriting because they assume you've already written something, and you just need to go through that text. B means that you still haven't started writing - you are just trying to find details and information about your topic so that you can later write about it.
