Studies of Errors in Writing Suggest That

Question

Studies of errors in writing suggest that
A) Writers represent graphemes but not allographs
B) Writers represent allographs but not graphemes
C) Writers represent graphemes and allographs
D) Writers represent neither graphemes nor allographs

Accepted Answer

Studies suggest that writers represent both graphemes (the basic units of the writing system) and allographs (different ways of writing the same grapheme, such as uppercase and lowercase letters). Errors in writing can occur due to a writer choosing an incorrect allograph or incorrectly spelling a grapheme.
