Answer:

B. When paraphrasing, you rewrite a passage in your own words.

Explanation:

Paraphrasing means restating or rephrasing in one´s own words, always being careful to give credit to the original source in order to avoid charges of plagiarism (that is, passing someone else´s ideas as your own). As such, paraphrasing does not add new information nor does it synthesize or condenses information (like in a summary), it just re-elaborates the passage in different words that should aim at the same meaning as the original.

Why does Sophocles have Oedipus blind himself off stage?
lutik1710 [3]

Explanation:

Like most truly suspenseful and horrifying moment, whether in theatre, film, or television, what an audience imagines is far more gruesome than anything that they can actually watch. This makes the blinding far more effective offstage.

In addition, as all classical Greek plays were performed with masks, this made it possible for the actor to come back with a different mask to show the change and thus create a visual cue for the audience.
