Read this excerpt from The Time Machine. Then complete the sentences that follow. And perhaps the thing that struck me most was

its dilapidated look. The stained-glass windows, which displayed only a geometrical pattern, were broken in many places, and the curtains that hung across the lower end were thick with dust. And it caught my eye that the corner of the marble table near me was fractured. Nevertheless, the general effect was extremely rich and picturesque. There were, perhaps, a couple of hundred people dining in the hall, and most of them, seated as near to me as they could come, were watching me with interest, their little eyes shining over the fruit they were eating. All were clad in the same soft and yet strong, silky material. Fruit, by the by, was all their diet. These people of the remote future were strict vegetarians, and while I was with them, in spite of some carnal cravings, I had to be frugivorous also. Indeed, I found afterwards that horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, had followed the Ichthyosaurus into extinction. But the fruits were very delightful; one, in particular, that seemed to be in season all the time I was there—a floury thing in a three-sided husk—was especially good, and I made it my staple. At first I was puzzled by all these strange fruits, and by the strange flowers I saw, but later I began to perceive their import.

1) The description of the broken windows and dusty curtains in the first paragraph foreshadows the Time Traveler's later discovery that <u>the race he encounters in the novel known as the Elois is not an intelligent race and that they are quite inactive and slow in comparison to Morlocks who are the complete opposite of them.</u>

2)  The Time Traveler thinks that the diet of fruit is <u>that the Elois race simply accepts the state of the situation in which they live. As mentioned previously, they are quite lethargic and with 0 will to fight back or change their fate.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The text that has been provided above is from the Science fiction novel that has been written by H.G. Wells, named The Time machine. In the excerpt that has been given here shows that Elois is the race showing the future of human society.

Eloi is a person who does not have to do anything in his or her entire life because they have some one else to do work for them and they are their working class.

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".
