Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 21   AIL 2016 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Question Four: Paraphrase

Captions available

The idea

The board asks for a paraphrase of the opening sentence. The published answer is that people do not sufficiently recognise the power of vanity. A paraphrase question wants the sentence's content restated, with nothing added and nothing lost.

In practice

Restate; add nothing.

Where people slip

The board's answer, reported.
