Which of the following is not a strategy for paraphrasing a text?
o a. read and reread the original passage until the full meaning is understood.
ob. jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later how you intend using this material.
oc. summarize the main points of the original passage to be included in the paraphrase.

The answer is to jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later how you intend using this material.

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).

b. and i with my fighting heart, i thought at

first / to steal up to him [the cyclops].   the cyclops’ actions first odysseus to take

action after killing his men and trapping in the cave revealed his intent of

doing them harm.   that is why odysseus

blinded him to enable him and his men to escape.
