Paraphrasing Activity
Activity: ParaphrasingLook at the following paragraph from B. Wuethrich's article "Chasing the
Fickle Swine Flu" in Science, 2003, vol 299, issue 5612, page 1502:
As they seek to understand what upset the status quo in North American swine, researchers have turned to the environment. For North American pigs, the environment has recently changed dramatically in two ways: herd size and vaccination practices.
Which of the following would be the best way to paraphrase?
|
1. Researchers have found that “herd size and vaccination practices” are two
recent changes in the environment that could account for the origins of swine
flu in North America. (Wuethrich 1502)

2. Researchers are seeking to understand what upset the status quo in North
American swine. They think it might be the environment. Herd size and
vaccination practices are two recent dramatic changes.

3. Wuethrich reports that “to understand what upset the status quo in North
American swine, researchers have turned to the environment.” For North American
pigs, “the environment has recently changed dramatically in two ways: herd size
and vaccination practices.” (Wuethrich 1502)
