Mice21 [21]

The excerpt from "The Odyssey" that the passage is paraphrasing is "Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I..."

<h3>What is a paraphrase?</h3>

A paraphrase is a restatement of another text but with different words. Suppose you read a paragraph and decides to rewrite all the information in it, but with different words that the original. That is a paraphrase.

Here, we are looking for the excerpt that matches a paraphrase. Let's compare:

  • Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias.

As we can see, the first excerpt paraphrases the second one. It rewords the information provided in the original excerpt, making it simpler to understand.

The complete question with the paraphrase and the missing answer choices is the following:

Although I was sad to see my mother's dead ghost, I didn't speak with her because I needed to talk to a different ghost.

Which excerpt from "The Odyssey" - Teiresais is this paraphrasing?

In what sense do the bright colors of autumn dupe us
AlekseyPX
It tricks us because the colors blend with our earth tone colored clothing (accessories also) you could do this test to show you

buy or borrow a shirt that has nothing but autumn leaves on it(I pasted a photo of what it would look like) then take a white undershirt and place autum leafs on it.
Does it not look similar? that's how the bright colors trick our eyes. because  of the bright and earth tone colors
