An update of the setting of a play by Shakespeare to modern times could be found in an adaptation. Adaptations often take a book, film, stage play or television series and change it while maintaining its essence. For example, the 1999 movie <em>Ten Things I Hate About You</em> is an adaptation of <em>The Taming of the Shrew</em>, by William Shakespeare, set in a high school with teenagers as protagonists.

Sentence B. My mother "emigrated" from China and came to the United States uses the underlined word correctly. <u>Emigrate</u> means to leave one country to settle in another, and it implies a permanent move. On the other hand, <u>immigrate</u> is to enter and settle in a foreign country. The difference between these two words is that emigrate is the act of leaving a country and immigrate the act of entering a country.
