The correct answer is D. It is not a strong example of paraphrasing. It just rearranges the original words in a new order.
Explanation:
In writing, paraphrasing implies using the ideas of an external source and author and expressing them by using your own words, because of this a strong paraphrasing would change the language used but keep the essence and main points of the original ideas. In the excerpt presented, the author tried to paraphrase a passage that describes cone snails. However, in the passage paraphrased the author uses the same terms and words than in the original passage which means he or she is not expressing the ideas of the original passage with his or her own words but only changing the order of ideas the text and therefore this is not a strong paraphrasing and can even be considered a plagiarism as the same words and ideas are being used. Therefore, this text can be described as "It is not a strong example of paraphrasing. It just rearranges the original words in a new order".
Answer:
Both the events of the 1992 LA Riots and the current social and political conflicts in America have the same origin, which is none other than the inequalities of social, economic and political opportunities that exist between African Americans and whites in the United States.
Thus, the 1992 LA Riots arose after the assault on Rodney King by the police and his subsequent acquittal by a mostly white jury, which demonstrated the impunity that the police had in the face of attacks on black people, as well as the structural power of whites versus blacks in the government structure.
In turn, the current disturbances arose after the murder of George Floyd by white police officers, thus repeating the pattern of abuse of power by the security forces, especially against members of the African-American community.
