Suppose Julia says, "Among all the other things I worry about, I have an important exam
coming up and I fear that, given my busy schedule, I won't have enough time to study."
Responding with, "You seem to be very upset about doing well on the exam" would be an
inaccurate paraphrase because
a. it responds to only one example, instead of responding to Julia's larger problem of coping with a
busy schedule.
b. you are repeating the exact words Julia said.
c. you have not matched Julia's depth of feeling, given how important this exam is to her future
and her hopes of getting a better job.
d. you add unintended meaning to Julia's statement.
e. you use language that is too simple to capture Julia's meaning.
