B

This is a Vocabulary question, as it's asking for a word that completes the text with the most logical word or phrase. Read the text and highlight what can help fill in the blank. The text states that most fiction writers edit their stories and re-write them, but the transition word While sets up a contrast, meaning that Aira does not edit his stories and re-write them as other writers do. Based on this, a good phrase to enter into the annotation box would be that Aira "stays away from" the traditional revision process.

• (A), (C), and (D) are wrong because they are the Opposite of "stays away from" in some way-they all deal with some form of acceptance or joining together.

• (B) is correct because avoids matches "stays away from."
