Question

writing and editing
choose the correct answer
why would editors need strong knowledge of formats, such as mla, apa, and chicago?
companies require a spreadsheet before being hired to prove their skills.
they may have to go back to college.
students may hire them to edit their term papers.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option about companies requiring a spreadsheet to prove skills is irrelevant to format knowledge like MLA/APA/Chicago.
• The second option about editors going back to college is not related to the need for format knowledge.
• The third option makes sense: Students often write term papers using formats like MLA, APA, or Chicago, so editors hired by students would need to know these formats to edit the papers correctly.

Answer:

C. Students may hire them to edit their term papers.
