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.

A.The priest approached the grave slowly, wondering how they had managed to dig into the frozen ground. . . .

B.His fingers were stiff, and it took him a long time to twist the lid off the holy water.

C.The wind pulled the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the corn meal and pollen that had been sprinkled on the blanket.

D. He felt good because it was finished, and he was happy about the sprinkling of the holy water. . . .

Answer:

C.The wind pulled the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the corn meal and pollen that had been sprinkled on the blanket.

Explanation:

Personification is the literary element that gives human attributes to inanimate objects.

The wind is not a living thing but it is depicted as pulling down the priest's Franciscan robe and swirling away the corn meal and pollen that were already sprinkled on the blanket.

Personification in summary is using human attributes like walking, laughing, crying, singing, etc to depict non living things.
