Answer 2

To correctly paraphrase the sentence given above, Tamar should restate the sentence in her own words.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paraphrasing any sentence is to write it anew, mainly from the perspective or words of the one doing the paraphrasing. To paraphrase is to write the sentence or words in a new way, but still retain the meaning and essence of the original text.

But this paraphrasing should also bring about more clarity to the readers, making it more understandable to them. Paraphrasing helps in rewriting a new sentence, but with the use of one's own words and ideas. And it also enables the writer to refrain from using direct quotations. So, Tamar should understand the sentences, and rewrite it in her own words without eliminating the main points or context of the sentences.
