Paraphrasing isn't that as simple as it might be. It might be just as easy as pie for some people, but some would have it as like walking into a park, a Jurassic Park that is.
In this presented problem, it would be accurate to paraphrase them to terms and words that would most likely represent a whole phrase or clause. This is one of the many basics of paraphrasing.
So for a paraphrase of the given sentence, the paraphrase would be: "As she was writing, she had moments of thoughts between words and sentences."
Or
"She was, stuck in an interval, thinking as she was writing them down"
Or
"Occasionally stopping while she is writing is her thing"
and so on.
Answer:
D. uncivilized
Explanation:
Since no word is italicized, I'll explain the word "barbarous", it being the only word that could be troublesome. The word comes from Greek "barbaros" which was the term for people not speaking Greek.
Romans later took the word and in Latin it meant "the one who comes from outside of Roman Empire".
Basically, the term meant "foreigner". But, since these foreigners came from territories and tribes that were on a less cultural and civilizational level then Romans, this term soon denoted someone who is savage, uncivilized, brutal.
The most obvious difference is that academic writing is nonfiction, while entertainment writing is fiction.
