How should a writer respond to criticism of their paper?

  1. Write a defense for their work

  2. Reiterate their position

  3. Take notes on the criticism

  4. Ignore the criticism

The correct answer is: Take notes on the criticism

A and B may seem like tempting options, as they involve directly addressing the criticism, but they may come across as defensive or argumentative. D is not a recommended course of action as ignoring criticism may make it difficult for a writer to improve their work. Taking notes on the criticism allows the writer to objectively analyze the feedback and use it to make improvements in their paper. This approach shows that the writer is open to constructive criticism and willing to improve their work.
