Paraphrase the following passage. Paris. Poor soul, thy face is much abus'd with tears. Juliet. The tears have got small victory
puteri [66]

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.

Write a descriptive paragraph of 5–7 sentences about one of the following:
seropon [69]

Answer:

I would like to write about "your favorite food ".

I am very foodie. In today's world, there are so many things to eat from naive food to continental food. My favorite food is Pizza. The Pizza itself looks so yummy, cheesy and crispy. The best way to eat pizza is to have it warm. Pizza can be tossed with any healthy vegetable like tomato, corn, jalapenos, mushroom etcetera. It not only fills your hunger but also makes any occasion more special. On every occasion, pizza is the best way to celebrate. No matter how much I have eaten, it makes me more hungry every time I heard "PIZZA" or you can say my love for pizza is eternal.
