Choose the correct option concerning the process approach to the teaching of writing

According to contemporary theories on language learning assessment,

It is a myth that all it takes to write is to sit down in front of a blank page, to begin at the beginning and write through to the end, with no planning, break, editing, or changes in between. And yet, this is sometimes what we ask our students to do. Good writers plan and revise, rearrange and delete text, re-reading and producing multiple drafts before they come up with their finished document. This is what a process writing approach is about.

Based on the text, it can be concluded that

My heart laps up when I behold

A rainbow in the sky:

So was it when my life began;

So it is now I am a man;

So be it when I shall grow old,

Or let me die!

The child is Father of the Man;

And I could wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety
