Editor's Notes
Answer:
Parallelism is when the headings and/or subheadings follow the same structure, such as the number of words or the parts of speech utilized.
Answer:
The discussion part should include the relevance and significant findings of the results. It should also include how there is an impact on the various benefactors of the study.
Model answer:
If a writer forgets to add an important part of the outline, he or she may forget to compile the necessary information for that part and only discover this oversight while writing. In that event, he or she may have to stop writing and go back to collecting information and reorganizing the paper.
