CRefusal to attempt any draft
DUnusually fast handwriting
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Dual focus overloads attention
1. These students often skip separating the stages of writing.
2. They reflect on spelling while putting ideas together, which overloads their attention system.
3. Overload, not missing vocabulary or refusal, leads to the errors.
