A) <span>She contemplates killing both Pearl and herself to escape their torment.
At times, Hester contemplates whether or not Pearl would be better off going straight to heaven (dying) before her life even begins, and whether she should just end her life as well, and go to wherever God judges in the afterlife. </span>
D. You worked on your essay yesterday so that you could go to the game today.
Answer:
The answer is that my understanding was false.
Explanation:
The word alienated specifically refers to a social condition in which someone feels left out or distanced from a group of people in a work environment. Judging by the context of the sentence that begins with: "You believed then..." tells me that I had a wrong understanding of the social condition at work of my older sister Beth.
Seems to me that the second option looks as if it were correct. While paraphrasing and summarizing, you are trying to shorten up an original piece of writing. Giving a well developed descriptions of main ideas isn't something to look for in paraphrasing, so that's why the first option is incorrect. In addition, restating basically everything from a text is not called paraphrasing nor summarizing, and that is why I'd rather classify it as copying.
