Answer 1

Paraphrasing is the act of rewording, revising, simplifying and expressing the text in your own words with additional clarity. Note that condensing the text to a shorter form should not be in your interests because that would be summarizing, not paraphrasing. Check this out:

Nonliving organisms and lifeless organisms are not the same thing. Inanimate organisms are not dead, they're nonliving. Being nonliving means not having a characteristic of life, it means that the object is inorganic. A valid example could be a rock. A rock has never had a characteristic of life. Being deceased means that life once inhabited the being and has left it. Just as a moose gains life from conception, it's deemed dead once life has left it. In science, nonliving organisms and lifeless organisms are not the same thing; one was gifted life and one was inanimate from the beginning.
