Explanation:
When we paraphrase, we reword the ideas expressed by someone. We do not change the ideas, nor do we summarize. We say the exact same thing, but with different words. Let's take a look at what is being said here:
<em>What knowing man knows not the ghostly,
</em>
<em>Waste-like end of worldly wealth</em>
The lines above are questioning something. They are asking, maybe in rhetorical way, what intelligent man does not know about how material wealth disappears in the end. The adjective "knowing" is the same as "knowledgeable" or "intelligent". And "waste-like end" means the wealth does not really value much. It disappears ("ghostly", like everything else.
With that in mind, we can easily see that letter A is the one conveying all those ideas:
A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?
