PLEASE HELP!! @Ms.Sue
It is not D.
Its A
To determine the best paraphrase of the lines from "New World," let's break down the original lines: "Eagles/hie/and/hover/above/the/plain."
The word "hie" means to hurry or move quickly, and "hover" means to remain suspended in the air or to float. The phrase "above the plain" indicates that the eagles are positioned above the open area of land.
Now let's analyze each option:
A. "Eagles hurry and hang above the flat land."
This option accurately captures the meaning of "hie" with the word "hurry." It also describes the eagles hanging "above the flat land," which aligns with the original phrase. However, it doesn't mention the eagles specifically floating or remaining suspended.
B. "Eagles hang in midair and wave their wings."
Although this option includes the idea of the eagles remaining suspended in the air ("hang in midair"), it introduces the action of waving their wings, which is not mentioned in the original lines.
C. "Eagles race and rush in an ugly way."
This option adds the ideas of racing and rushing, which are not present in the original lines. The word "ugly" does not accurately convey the meaning of the original text.
D. "Eagles soar and swoop in an everyday way."
This option uses the words "soar" and "swoop" to describe the movement of the eagles, which are similar in meaning to "hie" and "hover." Additionally, the phrase "in an everyday way" suggests that this behavior is common or typical for the eagles. Therefore, option D is the best paraphrase of the original lines.
In conclusion, D. "Eagles soar and swoop in an everyday way" is the best paraphrase of the lines from "New World."
