Which piece of information is an example of something that should be paraphrased in an essay? a. information about how much fast food the average person in a year b. a term recently introduced in the field of molecular biology c. the most humorous answer to a reporter question d. a quote from a scientist that is phrased in a unique way

the correct answer according to APEX is A. information about how much fast food the average person eats in a year

The correct answer is option letter A (Information about how much fast food the average person in a year). By paraphrasing in an essay, the writers express an idea or somebody’s message in their own words maintaining the meaning of the original material. In this case, the piece of information that should be paraphrased in an essay is the information corresponding to how much fast food the average person eats in a year. By doing so, the writer will avoid boring the reader or making plagiarism. The rest of the options (B, C, D) could be paraphrased, but this process would not be suitable for those cases because it would either take away the uniqueness of the text or distort the meaning of it (a term/ a humorous answer/ a quote phrased in a unique way).

the answer is the second one.
