Answer:

a. misspelled word

b. reading aloud

When proofreading a text, there is no better way than doing a close reading. In this reading, you should pay attention to issues such as spelling and grammar. You should also pay attention to how the text flows, because this can help you identify comma splices and run-on sentences. Although using a spell-checker can sometimes help, their ability to catch errors is limited, and therefore, should not be used as the primary mechanism for proofreading.
