Answer:
Skills that many people used to have, like making their own clothes and doing home repairs, are now disappearing in many countries.
Explanation:
Paraphrasing is the process required when we want to use information from a text from another authorng without directly quoting the source material.
The resulting sentence whould be a personal version of the essential information from the source, presented in a new way. Although it´s important the the new sentence is not a copy of the original text, it´s necessary to correctly express the original information accurately, as it´s our responablity to safeguar the intelectual property of the source´s author.
I'm assuming the underlined conjunctions are <em>both </em>and <em>and </em>(because you didn't underline any, and those are the only two conjunctions in the sentence).
Those conjunctions are called correlative conjunctions - this means that they are connecting two items which are equally important. So, this woman saw both Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald - and both of those artists are important to the woman.
