Read the case study below and choose the best possible answer to the following questions.
In high school, Daphne excelled in English, earning mostly As on her papers. She had a knack
for figuring out what teachers wanted to read and knew how to deliver the material in a clean, articulate fashion,
so Daphne wasn’t all that concerned when she had her first big essay due in her first-year composition class. She
chose a topic that was very important to her and started the paper three nights before it was due, finished it the
following day, and turned in the essay early. She was confident that she would receive another A.
When she got her essay back, however, Daphne was dismayed to see that she had earned only a C.
Her instructor’s comments noted a lack of original thought, disorganized structure, and several typos as the
reasons for the lower-than-expected grade. Daphne was crushed. Why were her usual writing methods failing her now?
