1-Clustering process:

2-Outlining process:

Answer 1

Answer :

1. Clustering process: Clustering is the process of making a group of abstract objects into classes of similar objects. A cluster of data objects can be treated as one group. While doing cluster analysis, we first partition the set of data into groups based on data similarity and then assign the labels to the groups. In other words Clustering. Clustering is a type of pre-writing that allows a writer to explore many ideas as soon as they occur to them. Like brainstorming or free associating, clustering allows a writer to begin without clear ideas. To begin to cluster, choose a word that is central to the assignment.

2. Outlining process: Outlining is a tool we use in the writing process to help organize our ideas, visualize our paper's potential structure, and to further flesh out and develop points. It allows the writer to understand how he or she will connect information to support the thesis statement and the claims of the paper.
