One form of a motion to Amend that places a word, consecutive words, or a paragraph in the beginning or the middle of a motion.

• A. Amend by adding
• B. Amend by striking out
• C. Amend by inserting
• D. Amend by substituting

Answer: (C)

Inserting is the form of amendment used when you want to place new language into the motion itself, at a specific location such as the beginning or somewhere in the middle. You propose to insert exact words and specify where they go, for example, “I move to amend by inserting the following sentence at the beginning of the motion.” This is different from adding (which tends to add at the end), striking out (which removes words), or substituting (which replaces the motion with new language). The inserting form directly changes the text by introducing new material in a defined place inside the motion.
