Discussion
Which of the following practices of collecting exemplars will help to minimize the chance of the writer deliberately altering his or her writing ?
Answer: B
The practice that reduces deliberate alteration is to dictate long passages.
A writer can disguise a few words, but over a long dictated text the effort of disguise is hard to keep up while also attending to content and spelling, so natural habits return. Dictation also hides which words are of interest.
Standing up while writing would itself distort the writing, and showing the questioned document lets the subject see what to avoid or imitate, which defeats the purpose. Lined paper constrains the baseline and alignment, which are features the examiner wants to see in their natural state.
