In 1975, about one-third of American mothers with young
Rina8888 [55]

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.

Percy Bysshe Shelley was an English romantic poet who wrote lyric poetry. In what ways does this excerpt from Shelley's “A Brida
evablogger [386]
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>A.)The poem uses figurative language and rhyme to express the speaker's ideas. Shelley uses metaphors, similes, imagery, sound devices such as sibilance, but those features are not typical only for the 19th-century lyric poetry. However, rhyme was used almost regularly. As for the B and C options, they can be applied to poetry from any age. The D option is not at all typical for the 19th-century poetry. Some poets used it (such as Wordsworth in Britain and Whitman in U.S.), but most of them didn't.</span>

1. In her poem, "What Your Mother Tells You Now," Mitsuye Yamada writes,
exis [7]

Answer:

C.) The line breaks make sure that the reader slows down as they read

Explanation:

The poem has these breaks in the lines to serve as a way for the reader to see the emphasize on the meaning behind the words.

"What your mother tells you

now

in time

you will come to know",

The bolded words are read slower and the meaning is emphasized on them compared to if the poem were written as, "What your mother tells you now in time you will come to know." Thus these breaks trigger the reader to slow down and fathom the meaning of the words more.
