Full Question:

 

Read the excerpt from the building of manhattan.

<em>It was a monumental task: to design the world's tallest building, create as much usable rental space as possible, plan so it could be built within 18 months, and still have a handsome building. in the end, architect william lamb worked on fifteen designs before his plan "k" was finally chosen</em>.

Which phrase can be changed when paraphrasing this text?

A) within 18 months

B) plan ‘K’

C) handsome building

D) william lamb

Answer:

The correct answer is C) handsome building

Explanation:

To paraphrase means to put forward the definition of (something written or spoken) using alternate meanings to give it greater clarity.

In the sentence above, the phrase "handsome building" is murky.

The building (in this context) can only be "<em>handsome</em>" if after it is properly constructed according to sound and generally accepted engineering requirements without losing the original design and altering the projected cost, it still meets the contractors' expectations as the <em>Worlds Tallest Building. </em>

Afterall, he who pays the piper, calls the tune.

Note that the writer communicates challenges with constraints that threatened to force the alteration of the purpose of the building which is to have the Worlds Tallest Building.

There were the constraints of Time and Purpose.

So, a rephrased sentence would look like this:

<em>It was a monumental task: to design the world's tallest building, create as much usable rental space as possible, plan so it could be built within 18 months, and still meet the objective of the Project Owner of becoming the Worlds Tallest Building. In the end, architect William Lamb worked on fifteen designs before his plan "K" was finally chosen.  </em>
