Answer:

Letter D is correct.

Explanation:

According to Cambridge Dictionary, paraphrasing means to "repeat something written or spoken using different words." The intention of this exercise is to make the words shorter and simpler, so the reader can understand with his or her own words what the speaker wanted to say.

It is not necessary to break the original text into individual sentences; even though it can help at the beginning, isolating sentences can create more problems that the ones can solve, specially because it may make the reader understand each excerpt as an individual one.

Even if you are paraphrasing, it is necessary to credit the source to indicate the words that are being paraphrased.

Letter C is also incorrect because it is not mandatory to substitute phrases here and there (it is not a must), specially if there are phrases from the text that can help readers understand it as written.

Letter D is correct since paraphrasing respects the main idea of the original passage, even the words could be changed to some closer to the reader's speech, so he can understand the passage.

A.) Read the beginning of Jason's argumentative speech on the use of Internet slang and answer the question.

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Which sentence would provide the best transition into the counterargument paragraph of this essay?

3. Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use.

Which revision would add supporting evidence to best strengthen Jason's claim?

2. Add this sentence to the above excerpt: Studies suggest that saving a few keystrokes can both reduce stress and lead to more productivity.

Explanation:

For the first question, we must first understand what Jason's claim is. That can be found at the end of his introductory paragraph:

"Internet slang is a manifestation of two more serious problems with modern society - intellectual laziness and too little time."

Now, we must find a sentence to introduce a counterargument. A counterargument is an idea that opposes the argument. The argument claims that internet slang usage is a problem. The counterargument must state the contrary. The sentence that does that is number 3: "Many would argue that there is no harm in populating our communication with OMGs and LOLs given their widespread use." This sentence is basically stating that internet slang is not a problem.

For the second question, we need to choose the option the adds supporting evidence to the excerpt. In other words, we choose the option that agrees with and complements the excerpt. The excerpt states that slang makes communication easier. The only option that agrees with that is number 2. All the other options offer information or present ideas that go against that opinion. Sentence 2, however, explains that slang makes communication less stressful.
