Which of the following is an example of a revision?

Re-reading a passage
Editing minor punctuation errors
Replacing one word with another
Re-arranging sentence order

The correct answer is: Replacing one word with another

A and B are incorrect because they describe simple tasks that may be part of the revision process, but not actual revisions themselves. Re-reading and editing minor punctuation errors are important steps in the revision process, but they do not involve making significant changes to the content or structure of the writing. D is incorrect because while re-arranging sentence order may be a part of the revision process, it is not an example of a revision on its own. Revisions involve making substantial changes to the content or structure of a piece of writing, such as changing ideas, adding or removing information, or restructuring the entire piece. Replacing one word with another is an example of a revision because it involves making a significant change to the language used, which can impact the meaning and effectiveness of the writing. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it directly relates to the definition of revision.
