Question

choose the correct answer
what is a reason that the writer of a 7th grade textbook would hire an editor?

• to make sure that the textbook is more challenging than a 7th grader can handle
• to ensure the terminology being used is appropriate and understandable for the grade
• to make sure it is entertaining enough for children

Explanation:

We analyze each option:

• Option 1: Making a 7th - grade textbook more challenging than a 7th - grader can handle is not a valid reason for hiring an editor, as textbooks should be appropriate for the grade level.
• Option 2: An editor can assess if the terminology (language/technical terms) in the textbook is appropriate and understandable for 7th - graders. This is a key role of an editor in educational materials—ensuring clarity and appropriateness of content for the target audience.
• Option 3: Making a textbook entertaining is not the primary role of an editor for a 7th - grade textbook (the focus is on educational content clarity, accuracy, and appropriateness, not just entertainment).

So the correct option is the one about assessing terminology appropriateness.

Answer:

(the option text: to assess the terminology being used is appropriate and understandable to the grader)
