A good way to paraphrase the underlined words is to use excess rather than exaggeration and persuasive rather than convincing

Paraphrase means to express one idea using different words. This means you do not change the meaning of a message but use different words to express it.

When paraphrasing try to:

  • Look for words with the same meaning but that are clearer or easier to understand
  • Preserve the meaning of the original idea

In this context, the best way to paraphrase the underlined words (exaggeration and convincing) is to use synonyms:

  • Exaggeration =  excess
  • Convincing =  persuasive

Thus, you can say "I also like the poem because the poet balances the excess with seemingly persuasive logic"
