Explanation:

To paraphrase correctly without plagiarism, the re - written text should convey the same meaning as the original but in different words. The original quote by President Lyndon B. Johnson emphasizes American pride in being strong, free, and beautiful, and that the beauty is at risk due to pollution of water, food, and air. The second option rephrases the key points accurately using different vocabulary. The first option misrepresents the quote by saying food, air, and water make America beautiful instead of being at risk. The third option is too similar to the original. The fourth option is too general and doesn't fully capture the essence of the original.

Answer:

Americans have always been proud of being not only America the strong and America the free, but America the beautiful. Today that splendor is at risk. The water we drink, the food we eat, the very air that we breathe, are in jeopardy because of pollution.
