A. paraphrase

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author discusses the early life and accomplishments of George Washington. We learn that Washington pursued interests that related well to his military career. We also learn that he was able to experience the French and Indian War, and was even at danger of dying in it. This experience would not have been possible without his being commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754. Therefore, this is the most relevant detail in this excerpt.

In this example, Maria has to explain the details and information that she read in an article. However, she is asked to do so in her own words. This is known as paraphrasing. When we paraphrase, we convey a particular idea by using our own words, as opposed to those of the author. This helps the reader show how well he understands the subject at hand.

In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry.

At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel—so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head.
