1. What is copywriting’s #1 priority according to section 1.1?

Clarity: understood effortlessly Learned vocabulary Elegant style Text length

A reader who must re-read drops off: clarity beats elegance.

2. Mehdi writes: “It is important to note that our solution optimises your synergies.” What to do first?

Cut the filler, active voice, concrete words Add adverbs Bold the whole text Translate into English

3. A sentence is 32 words and you run out of breath reading aloud. What to do?

Put it in the passive Add a subordinate clause Cut it in two, one idea per sentence Leave it as is

Beyond 25 words you cut: one idea per sentence, and the ear validates fluency.

1.2 · Recall

4. Why does the headline deserve disproportionate care?

It’s decorative Google requires it It’s the most-read element: miss it and you miss everything It’s optional

Far more people read the title than the rest; a failed title dooms the whole text.

6. A title promises “the miracle method in 5 minutes” but the article delivers platitudes. What to say?

It’s clickbait: one click gained, trust lost It’s honest curiosity It’s specificity It’s benefit in the title

Curiosity is legitimate only if the text keeps the promise; otherwise it’s deception.

1.3 · Application

7. How is a web page most often read?

Right to left In one fixation Word for word, in full By scanning (F-pattern), sweeping titles and line beginnings

Scan reading demands anchors: subheadings, lists, bold, short paragraphs.

1.3 · Application

8. What should a good set of subheadings allow?

Decorating the page Understanding the message by reading only them Filling empty space Replacing the text

The scanning reader must grasp the story from the titles alone: they summarize and guide.

1.3 · Arbitration

9. A text mixes three ideas in a 12-line paragraph. What to do?

Increase font size Cut into 3 one-idea paragraphs + subheadings + list Remove subheadings Add bold everywhere

One idea per paragraph, subheadings telling the story alone, white space: the wall becomes scannable.

1.4 · Recall

10. What is a CTA?

An illustration image An intro paragraph A decorative title The clear instruction saying what to do next

The CTA is the text’s destination: without it, the convinced reader stays inactive.

1.4 · Application

Action verb + benefit in the button, risk reducer right below.

1.4 · Arbitration

12. A page asks at once to buy, sign up, follow and download. What’s the diagnosis?

It’s the single goal well applied CTAs are missing Too many competing asks: conversion dilutes It’s ideal for SEO

One page = one single priority action, visible and repeated; secondaries stay discreet.
