Editor’s Note: This is the third quiz in the Edit This! series, which is intended to help technical editing practitioners improve their editing skills by editing a challenging piece of text, and then seeing how they did.
We will be posting more of these quizzes throughout 2024-2025.
Try your hand (red pen?) on this edition of the New York Times’s Copy Edit This! quiz, written by Philip B. Corbett. Corbett is the associate managing editor for standards at The New York Times.
