On frigid winter days, I enjoy creating interesting new recipes for simmering stews.

Which is the best example of a paraphrase for the sentence?

A.In cold weather, I like to eat stew.

B.I am a chef in the wintertime.

C.On cold days, I like to make stew.

D.I enjoy reading stew recipes in the winter.

I would say the answer is C. Because A is stating that he likes to eat stew, not make new recipes. B is to simple a sentence. And D he didn't say he liked to read them he said he like to make new ones.

Answer:

C. On cold days, I like to make stew.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the best example of a paraphrase or an expression of the same meaning using different words.

- Option C replaces "frigid winter days" with "cold days" as frigid means very cold.

- Then the word "enjoy" is replaced with "like", both express delight or pleasure for something.

- The word "creating" is replaced with "making", both refering to the action of bringing something into existence.

- Lastly "interesting new recipes for simmering stews" is replaced with "stew", these are both foods that are cooked with a slow heat. Although the use of the word "stew" doesn't say anything about the interesting recipes, this is the options that is closer to the original sentence.
