Answer 1

Answer: Option D

Explanation: The process of elimination is the main way you would figure out the answer. A is a correct sentence, and does have some of the original information, but does not contain all of the info needed to paraphrase. B and C have none of the info needed and are completely different from what the author intended the original sentence to mean. Therefore, the answer is option D.
