To rewrite something without changing the original statement/meaning of the original text. To change a sentence into your own words.

Paraphrasing means formulating someone else's ideas in your own words. To paraphrase a source, you have to rewrite a passage without changing the meaning of the original text. Paraphrasing is an alternative to quoting, where you copy someone's exact words and put them in quotation marks

Why is Aunt Polly so angry with Tom after she talks with Sereny Harper about Tom’s dream?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Aunt Polly was so angry with Tom because he had lied about "the prophecy", his dream where he saw them in his room and told them everything they had done as if he was there in spirit.

Explanation:

<em>The Adventures of Tom Sawyer</em> by Mark Twain tells the story of a young boy named Tom Sawyer and his experiences, looking for adventure. It also deals with the mischievousness of the main character, who lives with his aunt and half brother.

Chapter 18 shows the scene where Tom told his Aunt Polly about the dream he had seen of them worrying about him in his room, his bed, mourning. He had also seen<em> "Joe Harper's mother",</em> which was exactly true. he then began telling them everything he had seen them do that night. This made them believe that Tom had actually had a vision and seen them even though he wasn't really present at that time.

But Chapter 19 showed Tom being scolded by Aunt Polly because she had realized that whatever Tom had told about the "<em>vision</em>" was all a lie. Sereny Harper had told her that Joe had seen Tom watching them that night and had actually been there too, but faked the prophecy so as to escape the brunt of his Aunt's anger.

In order to be MOST precise in meaning, the underlined phrase labeled (1) should be changed to
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

In order to be MOST precise in meaning, the underlined phrase labeled (1) should be changed to :

D) the U.S. government moved many Cherokees west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma.

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the excerpt with the phrase to be substituted, here is the paragraph:

About 200 years ago the Cherokee Indians were one tribe, or "Indian Nation" that lived in the southeast part of what is now the United States. During the 1830s and 1840s, the period covered by the Indian Removal Act, many Cherokees were moved west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma.

The use of an active sentence emphasizes the fact that Cherokees did not move voluntarily from their land, they were forced by the U.S. Government as they were applying a new law, this gives a clearer idea of who were the active subject in this situation and that the Cherokee just had to accept what they were told to do.

I'm a prisoner on the ground

With no one to stand around

People come and go

And I yell out with a moan

"Please help me

I need to be free"

But no one looks at me

For even one bit

Next thing I know

I start to get hit

I yell out loud

Out into the crowd

"Help me! Please!"

But they back away

And so I say,

"I don't have a disease!"

One moment later

The traitor comes out

And that's when I start to shout

"Traitor! Traitor! You betrayed me! Even when I was in need!"

But he just stayed still

And wouldn't move until

The guards push him away

And that's when he started to sway

Side to side he went

All the while looking content

I couldn't believe my eyes

Everything he told me were lies

I started to rise

To start to go

And wouldn't you know

He held me by the arm

Said, "I don't want to do you any harm."

The last thing I remembered

Was that he got dismembered.

I   dont have  a drawing but look up prisoner on ground with guards around
