certain words they use can effect the tone
The correct option is D) “Both A & B are incorrect.” Both sentences are incorrect because of the use of the phrasal verb “stand up”. The meaning of the phrasal verb is to make yourself into an upright position and a bike cannot “stand up”. The correct verb would be “stand”, which means to take or maintain a specified position.
The rest of the options are incorrect since the phrasal verb "To stand up" is on both sentences.
Answer:
The sentence that paraphrases the source information correctly is B. The number of American mothers working outside the home has doubled since 1975 (Schlosser 4).
Explanation:
A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. We must remember to give due credit to the original speaker or writer of the passage we are paraphrasing.
In the case we are studying here, we can easily eliminate A, C, and D. They are not attempting to paraphrase, but to quote. Quotes maintain the original words and structures used by the speaker/author. In letter D, they have tried to pretend to be paraphrasing by not using quotation marks and by changing the spelling of numbers. Still, the sentences are the same, nothing has changed.
The only option that truly paraphrases the source information is letter D. It offers the same facts with fewer and different words. It mentions the original author, but does not copy his words. Thus, we can safely choose letter B as our answer.
