The correct answer is D. It is not a strong example of paraphrasing. It just rearranges the original words in a new order.
Explanation:
In writing, paraphrasing implies using the ideas of an external source and author and expressing them by using your own words, because of this a strong paraphrasing would change the language used but keep the essence and main points of the original ideas. In the excerpt presented, the author tried to paraphrase a passage that describes cone snails. However, in the passage paraphrased the author uses the same terms and words than in the original passage which means he or she is not expressing the ideas of the original passage with his or her own words but only changing the order of ideas the text and therefore this is not a strong paraphrasing and can even be considered a plagiarism as the same words and ideas are being used. Therefore, this text can be described as "It is not a strong example of paraphrasing. It just rearranges the original words in a new order".
I'd say that the statement from FDR's speeches that uses parallel structure is C. American ships have been sunk; American airplanes have been destroyed.
Both of these independent clauses use the passive form of the verb - in the first clause, the passive form of the verb <em>to sink </em>is used, and in the second, of the verb <em>to destroy.
</em>A parallel structure means that throughout a sentence, the same form of words is used, and given that here both sentences have passive forms, I'd say C is the correct answer.<em>

Answer:

.
Explanation:
In this excerpt, the author talks about vehicle backover injuries and deaths. However, as we read the excerpt, we make an impression that the data presented here is inconclusive, as the author doesn't provide the exact statistical information and base the facts mainly on his/her suppositions.
For example, <em>the driver may even be the child's mother or father</em> or <em>experts often don't agree on the exact number of children injured or killed in backover incidents each year </em>doesn't provide any relevant information from which we could make a certain conclusion, as the paragraph seems to be incomplete and inconclusive.
