Answer: A. Elenita versus the music of her parents' homeland.

Answer:
Paraphasing in the above text is incorrect.
Explanation:
Whenever you paraphrase your text, it is necessary that, after the paragraph ends, you reference the source where you found the idea presented. This reference must be placed in parentheses, where you will put the author's last name and the year of publication of the source.
In the example above, although the individual who wrote the paraphrase had the intention of referring to the source where he found this idea, the reference was presented incorrectly, making the paraphrase a plagiarism.
The right answer is "B Red Cloud describes the situation as bleak; with little food and fading traditions, they felt one of their only choices was to agree to reservation life and adopt white American ways."
In 1871, the government established the Red Cloud Agency on the Platte River, downstream from Fort Laramie. As outlined in the 1868 Treaty, the agency staff were responsible for issuing weekly rations to the Oglala, as well as providing the annually distributed supply of cash and annuity goods. The agent and Washington officials would determine how much of the annuity was to be paid in cash or goods, and sometimes the supplies were late, in poor condition, inadequate in amount, or never arrived at all. Red Cloud took his band to the agency (a predecessor of the Native American reservation) and tried to help them in the transition to a different way of life. In the fall of 1873, the agency was removed to the upper White River in northwestern Nebraska.
In a standard dictionary, you can find the key to pronunciation marks within the definitions. It seems to be the most correct answer. Looking at dictionaries you will not see pronunciation in the appendix, at the bottom of a page or even in the front.
