Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.71 Paraphrase at three levels skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Paragraph: The article examines why some inventions take decades to become common. It argues that the main barrier is often not the idea itself but the system around it—cost, infrastructure, training, and public trust. As an example, the author explains that early electric cars existed long ago, but widespread adoption required cheaper batteries, charging networks, and better performance. Which option best paraphrases the paragraph?

AThe article says inventions spread quickly as long as the idea is creative.

BThe article argues electric cars were invented recently, so adoption happened immediately.

CThe article claims infrastructure and cost never affect whether inventions become common.

DThe article suggests inventions may take a long time to catch on because supportive systems must develop, not just the invention itself.

Solution & Explanation:Choice D captures the central claim and the example without copying wording. The other options contradict the argument or oversimplify.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Multi-paragraph passage (2 paragraphs): In a short memoir, the author describes moving to a new country and feeling invisible at first. She knew the language enough to understand, but not enough to respond quickly, so conversations moved on without her. She writes that confidence returned in small steps: ordering food without rehearsing, joking with a classmate, correcting a pronunciation mistake without embarrassment. The memoir suggests that belonging is built through repeated, ordinary moments rather than one dramatic breakthrough. Which option best paraphrases the passage?

AThe author felt invisible because she refused to learn the language at all.

BThe memoir claims belonging happens suddenly in one life-changing event.

CThe author portrays early isolation from language limits, then shows belonging growing through many small, everyday successes.

DThe author says she never gained confidence and remained silent forever.

Solution & Explanation:Choice C keeps the progression (invisibility to gradual confidence) and the theme about ordinary moments. The other options exaggerate or contradict the memoir’s arc.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Multi-paragraph passage (2 paragraphs): A report on school start times notes that later starts can improve teen sleep, but it also lists trade-offs. Buses may need new routes, after-school jobs may conflict, and sports practices might run later. Rather than arguing for a universal rule, the report recommends that districts study their own transportation systems and community needs. It suggests piloting a later start at one school, collecting data on attendance and alertness, and then deciding whether the benefits outweigh the costs. Which option best paraphrases the passage?

AThe report demands all schools everywhere start later immediately with no planning.

BThe report says later start times may help sleep but require local study and testing because of transportation and schedule trade-offs.

CThe report claims start times never affect sleep, so districts should ignore the topic.

DThe report focuses only on sports and does not mention transportation or data.

Solution & Explanation:Choice B preserves the balanced stance (benefits plus costs) and the recommendation for local research and pilots. The other choices make the report extreme or incomplete.
