What is the best advice for avoiding grammar and usage errors in an essay?

Proofread the essay aloud using multiple drafts.
Rely only on the computer spell-checker to make corrections.
Ask someone else to read the essay and look for errors.
Cut and paste the essay into an online grammar checker.

The correct answer is: Proofread the essay aloud using multiple drafts.

Proofreading an essay aloud using multiple drafts is the best advice for avoiding grammar and usage errors because it allows for a thorough and comprehensive examination of the writing. Relying solely on a computer spell-checker (option B) may identify some errors but it cannot catch all mistakes, especially those related to usage. Asking someone else to read the essay (option C) can be helpful, but it may not always be possible or practical. Cutting and pasting the essay into an online grammar checker (option D) may also be useful, but it should not be the only method used as these programs can also miss certain errors and are not always reliable. Proofreading aloud using multiple drafts ensures that errors are caught and corrected in the most effective way.
