Which of the following is not a step of the writing process?

  1. Outline

  2. Rewrite

  3. Research

  4. Critique

The correct answer is: Critique

The writing process involves several steps, including brainstorming, planning, drafting, revising, and editing. Critiquing is not a step in the writing process, but rather a separate and important skill that writers use to evaluate their own work or the work of others. While research is a key component of the planning and drafting stages, it is not a standalone step on its own. The other options, outline and rewrite, are both important steps in the writing process. Outlining helps writers organize their ideas and create a structure for their writing, while rewriting involves revising and reworking the initial draft to improve the overall quality of the piece.
