1. To determine the best paraphrase of the lines from "January," we need to understand what the lines are describing. The lines describe "fat snowy footsteps" that are tracking the floor.
Option A, "Thick, snowy footprints show where animals walked," is a possible paraphrase. It captures the idea that the footsteps are large and made in the snow.
Option B, "Thick, snowy outlines of feet mark the floor," is the best paraphrase. It accurately conveys the image of footprints made in the snow that leave marks on the floor.
Option C, "Large snow boots lie on the floor of the house," is incorrect. It suggests that the snow boots are stationary on the floor, which is not stated in the original lines.
Option D, "A fat, snowy creature followed us into the house," is also incorrect. While it captures the fat and snowy characteristics, it introduces the idea of a creature following, which is not mentioned in the original lines.
2. Again, for the paraphrase of the lines from "Grandma Ling," we must understand the meaning of the lines. The lines describe the speaker facing their own height and sturdy legs and feet.
