Question

Can some one Please help me? Create a paraphrase of the following sentence from “The Cold Equations”: There could be no alternative—but it required a few moments of conditioning for even an EDS pilot to prepare himself to walk across the room and coldly, deliberately, take the life of a man he had yet to meet.

Answer 1

"The EDS pilot had to prepare himself before coldly taking the life of a man he had yet to meet" (There are of course many ways you could paraphrase this sentence, this is just one of them.)
