Paraphrase the following passage. Paris. Poor soul, thy face is much abus'd with tears. Juliet. The tears have got small victory

by that; For it was bad enough before their spite. Paris. Thou wrong'st it, more than tears, with that report. Juliet. That is no slander, sir, which is a truth; And what I spake, I spake it to my face. Paris. Thy face is mine, and thou hast slander'd it. Juliet. It may be so, for it is not mine own.

Answer: This could be a way to paraphrase it:

PARIS. You poor soul, your face has shed many tears.

JULIET. My tears have not benefited from it, since my face was already bad when I started to shed them.

PARIS. You are doing more wrong than the tears to your face by saying that.    

JULIET. That is not a calumny, sir, but the truth. What I said, I said it to my face.

PARIS. That face is mine, and you have defamed it.

JULIET. That may be the case, because it is no longer mine.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that paraphrasing is formulating an original text in a different way, using alternative words. Since the original text in the example is a poem, you have to try to imitate it to the bext extent that you can, but without rendering it exactly—with the goal of making it more understandable to contemporary audiences. This is a passage from Act 4. Paris is talking to Juliet kindly and with affection, but also condescendingly, and Juliet is replying to him bluntly and with indifference.

Describe the nightlife in a city you are familiar with
levacccp [35]
People laughing as they walk next to the calm water. Laughing, as if they have never been with friends. Every bar open on every block as you can hear joyous conversations. Also the quiet, dark houses that you walk past flicker on a light almost as to say goodnight.

Read these excerpts from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday

Answer:

The answer is letter B, The first passage uses factual descriptions to achieve an informative tone, but the second passage uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone.

Explanation:

Every writer has a theme when it comes to writing. In order to let the audience or readers know about its theme, it sets a specific tone which <u>tells much about a writer's attitude</u>. The tone can vary in the different parts of the story or it can just be one.

In the passages above, the first one uses factual description to achieve an informative tone. <u>Factual descriptions</u> <em>are based on information that are proven to be true (facts).</em> The description of the Tai-me of being a small image, less than 2 feet in length, etc. shows the real description about the thing. <u>It then tries to inform or let the readers know what Tai-me is all bout, thus using an "informative tone."</u>

The second passage, on the contrary, uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone. The writer tells a story about visiting his father and grandmother and seeing the Tai-me. This is a personal experience which tries to achieve a reflective tone by sharing insights to the readers.
