Which statement explains the main reason to create an outline for an informative essay?

Answer
A
An outline can help a writer arrange the references to be cited.
B
An outline can help a writer select an approach to a topic.
C
An outline can help a writer avoid the need to make revisions.
D
An outline can help a writer find evidence for a claim.

Explanation

An outline organizes the main ideas and supporting details before the essay is written, helping the writer decide how to approach and present the topic. It may help organize evidence, but finding evidence is research rather than the outline’s main purpose. An outline also cannot eliminate the need for revisions.
