How should a writer begin to create the outline of an essay?

Identify the main points
Start to write
Create an introduction
Outline the conclusion

The correct answer is: Identify the main points

A writer should begin creating an outline of an essay by identifying the main points they want to cover. This allows for a clear and organized flow of ideas and can help avoid repetition or tangents. Option B, starting to write, would likely lead to a disorganized and scattered essay. Option C, creating an introduction, would be the next step after outlining the main points. Option D, outlining the conclusion, would be the last step in the outlining process, as the conclusion should be based on the main points identified in the essay.
