One way to monitor comprehension when explaining information in your own words is by paraphrasing. By restating the information in your own words, you can test your understanding and ensure that you have comprehended the material accurately.

The correct answer is paraphrasing.

To monitor comprehension if you explain information you have read in your own words, you would typically use paraphrasing. Paraphrasing involves restating the information using different words and sentence structures while retaining the same meaning. When you paraphrase, you are demonstrating that you have understood the information and can express it in your own words. This helps to ensure that you have comprehended the text accurately.
