Answer 5

Answer 6

Flea markets, like bazaars, are a great way to find hidden treasures. Sure, many of the things that you find from a flea market may be true junk. However, out of all the junk, there are some valuable items that can be sold again. Some people go out to flea markets in the belief that they will find something that was worthwhile.
This belief has been around for centuries. The first flea markets were believed to be in France. They call the market le marche aux puces. This translates into the term flea market. The market was called so because many of the items being sold may have had fleas. Nowadays, this might not always be the case. However, one thing remains true. People go to flea markets to find things that will be valuable to them.

Answer 7

Pretty sure its B.

Answer 8

From what I see in the passage, people will go to the market to find something valuable.
So your answer is most likely the opposite. Which one would that be @parissfrance09?

Answer 9

You can't give out answers @alextable.

Answer 10

is it A??

Answer 11

Not quite right @parissfrance09. You see the sentence, "People go to flea markets to find things that will be valuable to them." this means that A is not right.

Answer 12

@parissfrance09 where did you go?

Answer 13

Answer 14

@AMYCARTER

Answer 15

Yes, but the question says which sentence FAILS to paraphrase.

Answer 16

yes so wouldnt that be A because its just repeating what the paragraph just said ??

Answer 17

No, because that is paraphrasing it. It is summarizing what you just read. Which answer choice isn't paraphrasing it right?

Answer 18

B??

Answer 19

@alextable

Answer 20

That seems like the most likely.

Answer 21

Yes @parissfrance09 B would be the most reasonable answer.

Answer 22

it was C

Answer 23

How is that?

Answer 24

@AMYCARTER @alextable

Answer 25

This answer choice is almost exactly the same as the last sentence in the second paragraph. The person who wrote this sentence replaced the word "valuable" with a similar word, "important." This change isn't enough for paraphrasing. this is why it says @AMYCARTER
