Answer:

Being afraid of running out of time before she could finish her paper, the girl checked the clock "twice".

Step-by-step explanation:

When you paraphrase a sentence you must follow some rules, that are present in this answer. The new sentence has to be written in your own words if you use phrases from the original lines they have to be quoted, and they mostly keep the same meaning as the original words, even when words can be changed they most be changed for similar ones.
