Which description best fits a paraphrase as the source uses the term?

### Why this is right The source describes paraphrases as expanded translations that attempt to convey the thought of the original rather than reproduce it word for word. This can make them accessible, though it also means they are not as close to the wording as a literal translation aims to be. ### The concept Translation approaches differ in purpose. An ultraliteral rendering tries to represent each source-language word; a literal rendering seeks equivalent words or phrases in readable form; a paraphrase prioritizes communicating the thought in accessible language. Comparing types can reveal differences, but a paraphrase should not be mistaken for a manuscript or the original wording. ### The other options - **A. A rendering that aims to provide an English word for every original-language word**: This describes an ultraliteral translation. - **C. A manuscript copied without any changes**: This confuses translation with transmission and overstates the source’s account. - **D. A list of biblical books accepted as authoritative**: This describes the canon. ### Terms - **Paraphrase**: A rendering that expresses the thought of a text rather than following its wording closely. ### Remember Ask what a translation type is designed to preserve: wording, readability, or thought.
