From the beginning to the end of "The bet" the lawyer A. comes to believe that material wealth and possessions are a curse rather than a blessing.

He has become a wise man through fifteen years of studying, but he even despise this, as well as other terrenal possessions, as he states in this excerpt: "It is all worthless, fleeting, illusory, and deceptive, like a mirage. You may be proud, wise, and fine, but death will wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than mice burrowing under the floor, and your posterity, your history, your immortal geniuses will burn or freeze together with the earthly globe."

What is one of journalist Carroll Kilpatrick's purposes for writing the article "Nixon Resigns"? to explain how the White House
makvit [3.9K]
The correct answer is the last one. Kilpatrick's article shares how White House staff feels about Nixon's resignation.

In the article, numerous aides and officials are quoted. Each gives his thoughts and/or opinions on Nixon's resignation. Many are sorry to see him go. Therefore the second option -- that the staff is unaffected -- is not correct.

The article does not say much about who will become president after Nixon. Furthermore, the staff itself is not changing; only Nixon is leaving. Therefore, the final answer is the correct one.

Which of these is an element of both paraphrasing and summarizing?
Rudiy27

Seems to me that the second option looks as if it were correct. While paraphrasing and summarizing, you are trying to shorten up an original piece of writing. Giving a well developed descriptions of main ideas isn't something to look for in paraphrasing, so that's why the first option is incorrect. In addition, restating basically everything from a text is not called paraphrasing nor summarizing, and that is why I'd rather classify it as copying.
