Answer 1

C. Are putting someone​ else's idea into your own words.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paraphrasing is a form of rewriting of an original piece of writing but with changes in the word use. This act of paraphrasing means to change the words of the original source but still retain the main ideas, points and issues that are talked about in the original source.

When we paraphrase any type of writing, be it a thesis or a story or even an essay or proposal, it is mandatory to keep the main points in the new piece. The new paraphrased piece should keep the original themes and ideas intact, but with the use of new words, not the same words as that of the original source.

This paraphrasing is an attempt or act of the person to give more clarity to the initial original idea. It will 'retell' what the person had said or written, making it more understandable and easier while still maintaining the whole idea and points made in the first/original piece.

Simply put, we can say that paraphrasing is an act of putting someone's ideas into our own words.

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Paraphrase is meant to clarify any piece of writing by an author whose words and sentences are simplified by using different words. in paraphrase, specific words are made simple by writing them in easy words so that general readers could understand, or deciphering the inherent meaning by using simple words since authors do use difficult words to enhance the beauty of the text. How authors do write a poem or prose is different from how readers understand, for example, Milton's Paradise Lost is a sublime text which needs paraphrasing or Chaucer's The Canterbury's Tales, which is composed in the Middle Age English which is Greek to students if not paraphrased.
