Celina, Mike, and Toni each have an essay returned by the teacher with a request for edits. Celina's essay is returned because she used the same words over and over again. Mike's is returned because he often used the wrong part of speech when he tried to use more interesting vocabulary. Toni's essay is returned because she used words with definitions that did not match her intended meaning.
In three to five sentences, explain which reference source each student should use to correct their essay, and why.

Celina should use a thesaurus to find synonyms for the words she has used repeatedly in her essay. The thesaurus will provide her with alternative words that carry the same meaning, allowing her to vary her vocabulary and avoid repetition.
Mike should use a grammar and part-of-speech guide to understand the correct usage of the words he intends to use. This will help him prevent using the wrong part of speech and ensure that his essay uses more interesting vocabulary accurately.
Toni should use a dictionary to check the definitions of the words she has used in her essay. This will help her ensure that the meanings of the words align with her intended message and avoid any confusion or misunderstanding in her writing.
