Answer 1

Among the enumerated definitions of drafting the best variant is the following:
drafting is writing down your thoughts, developing or expanding some ideas, organizing your thoughts to reflect your purpose. In other words, drafting is the first version of what you are going to write about. Drafting is needed to create a clear and understandable for readers and audience text or speech. In drafting the author may go back and read it later, check the punctuation, grammar, and spelling. Mark or rewrite the places he or she want to change, change them, run spellcheck or check it again.
