Answer to #1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) As you write your first draft, let your creativity flow. Don't try to write and edit at the same time or worry about getting everything perfect. The introduction is often the hardest part to write, so put it aside and work on whichever parts of the document you're most comfortable with.
