Explanation:

Writing drafts is an important part of the making of a research paper, depending on the person and the topic, the author can make one or more than one draft. In the first draft, the author should focus on providing all the information and evidence that he has, even if it does not seem relevant as this will later help them to see the bigger picture, identify major areas of concern, and choose which ones are the strongest that fit better in the final version. Improving paragraph and sentence structures is also important as this will help the author to improve the organization and cohesion of the ideas within the text, so the ideas could flow easy.

Lastly,  to take breaks instead of writing the first draft in one sitting is essential as well, as it will help the author to not feel overwhelmed, to re-read the draft with a clearer mind, and notice elements of the draft more clearly, and in a more easy manner.

B. Add more information and evidence than needed and E. Take breaks instead of writing the first draft in one sitting.

Explanation: Drafting is the preliminary stage of a written work in which the author begins to develop a more cohesive product. A first draft is a rough sketch of your future piece of writing. It is a way to elaborate on the main points of your essay stated in your outline, giving them a sample form. When writing a first draft, we should take breaks instead of writing it in one sitting, this would help to express the ideas more easily and clearly, and also we should add more information and evidence than needed, to be able to select the best ones later.
