Question

PLEASE HELP 20 POINTS!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The best paraphrase of the text is:

Ellis Island officers sometimes changed an immigrant’s last name. For example, the name Bietzy might be changed to Peachey. As a result, today many Americans have family names that differ from the original name. The officers may have changed an immigrant’s name because they did not understand it or because they wanted to make the spelling easier.

Explanation:

The objective of paraphrasing is to convey the same idea using different words, the best option is the first one since it is the one that contains all the necessary information, without using any of the sentences as they are in the original one, the other three options are not correct since they are incomplete or they took pieces of the original paragraph.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is A because it includes all neccessary details for something that is paraphrased.

(it's correct I just took the test:)
