What is the primary purpose of outlining an essay?

To make sure the essay fulfills the assignment requirements
To check for errors before the final draft is written
To organize ideas in a logical and coherent manner
To produce an interesting and unified essay

The correct answer is: To organize ideas in a logical and coherent manner

Outlining an essay is a crucial step in the writing process as it helps organize all the information and ideas in a logical and coherent manner. This makes it easier for the writer to clearly present their ideas and arguments, and for the reader to follow the flow of the essay. While options A and B may be important factors in writing an essay, they are not the primary purpose of outlining. Option D may be a desirable outcome, but it is not the main purpose of outlining an essay.
