1. Required for all papers
2. Helps to save time when writing the paper
3. Organizes information to be included
4. Prevents overwriting and repetition
5. Improves grammar in written paper
ANS: 2, 3, 4
Outlines reduce the time it takes to write the paper. Thoughts will be organized and in the proper order, reducing time spent thinking about what to cover next. Outlines help to put material in the correct order so the paper flows properly and does not hop around from subject to subject. Outlines give each topic a place in the paper so you don't repeat a topic, preventing rambling or overwriting.
