# data[].attributes.body
Strategy #1: Read your work aloud, preferably with another person.

Strategy #2: Proof & Line Edit by making multiple passes of the draft–each pass with a different focus in mind for each pass (i.e. pass #1: Run-on sentences, pass #2: commas).

Strategy #3: If a sentence is confusing, try to find a way to shorten it.

Strategy #4: If a sentence seems overly wordy, find the main subject, verb and object of the sentence and rewrite it, starting with the subject and keeping the subject, verb, object as close together as possible.

I understand #3 since the main function of it is to try to maintain a clear paragraph/sentence to ensure a better grade on the essay.

There isn't one that I don't understand but overall they seem to all result in an improvement on my essay.

Strategy 1: raiding aloud your work is a good way to proof your work because it can help,to identify if your sounds good, does it have a good flow, doesn’t it make sense, etc.

Strategy 2: this will help to identify for bad grammar if any.

Strategy 3: the sentence might be confusing in the sense that it was misplaced in the wrong paragraph, it’s may not even be needed for that specific paragraph or the entire piece itself.

Strategy 4: this will also help with the flow of the writing as well as to make sure the writing isn’t to long because of unneeded information

Reading your work aloud can be helpful for looking for typos that you wouldn't find if you read it in your head or skimmed through it. Shortening sentences make your essay simpler and clarifies what you're stating. #3 and #4 seem the same to me, a sentence which is confusing is usually too "wordy." You're basically shortening both sentences and getting to the point.

#2 is the most confusing to me, I don't fully understand what proof and line edit means
