what is paraphrasing?

make it more
interesting

different words

Explanation:

Paraphrasing is defined as restating the meaning of a text using different words, while keeping the original idea intact. The first option is about making text more interesting (which is more like rephrasing for style), the second is direct copying (quoting), the third is summarizing (finding main ideas), and the fourth matches the definition of paraphrasing.

Answer:

D. restating a text in different words (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the options are labeled differently, adjust the label but keep the description "restating a text in different words")
