The city of Dallas, Texas, passed a curfew this year restricting the movement of minors during the day. Because people under the

age of 18 are supposed to be in school during the day, the curfew is meant to affect primarily children who choose to skip school or those who decide to drop out. The chief of police explained, "The idea of the curfew came up after large jumps in the rates of theft and vandalism during the day."
Several groups in the community were in favor of the measure. Others believe it is a mistake. Brenely Watson spoke on behalf of a group of concerned citizens. She said, "The police department has no proof that minors are responsible for the increased crime. Perhaps someone should look in a mirror if they really need someone to blame." Mrs. Watson has a 15-year-old son who has perfect attendance at school.
The city council voted in favor of the curfew. It is now law. The mayor praised the police department before and after the vote. "The chief needs us to do everything in our power to help the brave men and women of the police department," he said. "Stopping crime depends on more people than just those wearing badges."
Which of these statements is supported by the article?
A.
The mayor believes the police are able to take care of the crime problem alone.
B.
The mayor does not believe that the police are capable of solving the crime problem.
C.
The mayor does not believe that the crime problem is cause by the city's minors.
D.
The mayor believes the entire community needs to help with the crime problem.

During research, you read the following passage on a website:
Serga [27]

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".
