answer explanation: 

<p>The correct answer is <strong>(A) revisions</strong>.</p><p>In the sentence "Several ______ to the brochure were made before it was sent to the printer," a noun is needed after "several" because "several" is an adjective that modifies a noun or noun phrase.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13.008px;">The word "revisions" is a noun that means changes or modifications made to something, such as a document or a piece of writing. Therefore, "revisions" is the appropriate word to use in this context.</span></p>
<p>The other options are not correct because they do not function as nouns in the sentence:</p>
<p>(B) "revising" is a verb form that indicates the action of making changes, but it does not fit grammatically in this sentence.</p>
<p>(C) "revised" is an adjective form that describes something that has already been changed, but it does not fit grammatically in this sentence.</p>
<p>(D) "revise" is a verb form that indicates the action of making changes, but it does not fit grammatically in this sentence.</p>
