Read the excerpt from the building of manhattan. because of the depression, the empire state building was never fully rented in its earliest years, but it immediately became one of the wonders of new york city and a favorite tourist attraction. ordinary folk and the famous alike made the trip up to the observation tower and were enthralled by the sheer height of it all. which choice is the best paraphrase of the text? in the years just after the empire state building was built, there were not enough renters to fill the building due to the depression. however, there were plenty of visitors, both tourists and celebrities. they came to marvel at the building's height and go up to the observation tower. the empire state building quickly became a favorite place to visit in new york. even though the empire state building was not filled with renters just after it was built, it did become a popular place to visit. people were amazed by the building's height. because of the depression, the empire state building was never fully rented in its earliest years, but it immediately became one of the wonders of new york city and a favorite tourist attraction. ordinary folk and the famous alike made the trip up to the observation tower and were enthralled by the sheer height of it all. the empire state building is an amazing place. when my family and i visited new york, we couldn't believe how tall the building was. we went up to the observation tower to see the view of the city. it was incredible. the empire state building is one of the wonders of new york city and has been since the depression.

Paraphrasing is when you express the meaning of something (written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve more clarity. It is a restatement of a text in another form. It's important to understand that is not a summary of the text. It must contain the same information but in a better way of expressing it.

So the best choice to paraphrase the text is: "In the years just after the Empire State Building was built, there were not enough renters to fill the building due to the Depression. However, there were plenty of visitors, both tourists, and celebrities. They came to marvel at the building's height and go up to the observation tower"

We can found the same information in the excerpt but in other words, it contains all the important facts, as "Because of Depression" "earliest years" "never fully rented" "tourist attraction" "Ordinary folk and famous alike" "enthralled by the sheer height of the tower".

In the second answer, they repeat the same idea "favorite place to visit" and "popular place to visit" so it doesn't have all the information in the excerpt and it's repeating the same idea twice so it's not a paraphrase of the selected excerpt.

In the third answer, they are repeating the exact words of the original excerpt, even if they are adding some information as "but it immediately became one of the wonders of New York City and a favorite tourist attraction." the other parts we find the same words so that's basically a copy.

And finally in the last answer is an anecdote that someone is telling, it's an opinion based on the same place but it doesn't contain the same information as the excerpt , we don't find the information about tourist (ordinary and famous) and abour renters.
