  • Well, to paraphrase something means what? It means to give your own rendition of essential information and ideas expressed by someone else, presented in a new form; it's one legitimate way (when accompanied by accurate documentation) to borrow from a source; and is a more detailed restatement than a summary, which focuses concisely on a single main idea.

    Therefore the only possible answer from your list is E. BORROWS altho. it is borrowing ideas and does not mean quoting the original - when paraphrasing anything, you should never quote or use the same words as appear in the material being paraphrased.
