Answer: A. Steel beams and girders in modern-day city skyscrapers have stronger connections and are put together more quickly and with fewer workers than connections formed by riveting.
Explanation:
Paraphrase refers to the restatement of a text, or passage, such that the meaning of the passage is given in another form.
The choice that is the best paraphrase of the text will be "Steel beams and girders in modern-day city skyscrapers have stronger connections and are put together more quickly and with fewer workers than connections formed by riveting".
Therefore, the correct option is A.
<em><u>The future of transportation involves moving into new, smarter sources of energy, modes of transport and physical and technological infrastructure to support these transportation innovations. Three common themes in transportation innovation are: smart technology. electrification</u></em>
We need to make sure we know what each of these words mean before we can decide which answer is best.
Satire is the use of humor, comedy, or exaggeration to criticize people's vices.
Irony is expressing your meaning by using language that is the opposite of what you mean, usually for humorous effect.
Dialect is a particular form of language that is specific to a region or group.
Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration.
With these definitions in mind, we can knock hyperbole off immediately as there is nothing exaggerated about the words we're looking at. Satire doesn't quite fit either because it's not obvious or apparent what is being satirized here. Irony also isn't a good choice because what is ironic isn't immediately obvious. Dialect is your best choice because the last part--"a-comin"--implies someone has dropped the g at the end of coming and makes it sound like a dialect.
