Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Answer: paraphrase — a rewording of something written or spoken.

Explanation: To paraphrase is to restate text or speech in your own words while preserving the original meaning.

  • paradox: a statement or situation that seems self-contradictory or counterintuitive; not a rewording.

  • paradigm: a model or example, not a restatement of words.

  • paraffin: a type of wax; unrelated to wording.
