Answer 1

A. To review the draft for structure and content
You have to make sure that your essay is staying focused on the Thesis. So you need structure and content to be on the right track.

Answer 2

And here's some info I found online to support my answer.

Revising your paper is not skimming a paper while watching TV or listening to a CD. Revising is focusing on many elements in your draft.
Does everything in your paper support your thesis, or have you gone off the topic? No matter how much you like a point or a sentence, if it is off the topic, you must cut it.
Does one generalization follow naturally from the previous one? and lead naturally to the next generalization? Will their connection be clear to the reader? Fill in any jumps between thoughts.
Have you made clear how the details are connected to a generalization? If not, connect them.
Have you organized your material so that all your discussion of a generalization is in one place in your essay, or does the same generalization get discussed in more than one place in the essay? Combine all discussion of one generalization in one place, and cut any repetition.
Have you repeated a point more than once? Have you said the same thing over and over? Are you being repetitious, as I am right now? If so, cut the repetitions.
Is the grammar correct? For example, do the verbs and subjects agree? have you used the correct verb forms?
Is the punctuation correct? For example, do you have any run-on sentences or fragments?
Have you used the correct form of a word (e.g., believe rather than belief)?
Are words spelled correctly? With spell check, there is no excuse for misspelled words.
