Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A paraphrase involves using your own words and sentence structures to restate the original material without changing the meaning. It is not simply presenting the gist in fewer words (B) and it still requires documentation of sources (C). Paraphrasing can be acceptable in certain business documents as long as it is done properly (D). Introducing a new, unrelated topic is not part of paraphrasing (E).
