Write a paraphrase of the passage. Careful, detailed planning and much paperwork enabled the Empire State Building to be put up in record time. A progress chart and a printed timetable were issued daily. These specified everything to be done that day, identifying each truck that would drive right in onto the first floor, what it would be delivering, and who was responsible to receive it and to use the materials it carried. Each steel piece was numbered to see that it went to the proper derrick and to indicate its proper place in the building. —The Building of Manhattan, Donald A. Mackay

Welcome to QC! This question makes no sense! This isn't really a question its just a source, do you mind including the question. That would be very helpful!

Capricorn77:

question:whats the paraphrase?

Laylalyssa:

Oh okkkk

Laylalyssa:

A strategy for paraphrasing is to take it apart by sentence, and rephrasing it in your own words.

Capricorn77:

ok

Laylalyssa:

Your welcome ...

Laylalyssa:

The definition isn't to take it apart by sentence. The definition is to change the text the author provided and turn it into your own words. The strategy I was talking abt was to break apart the text and rephrase it that way.
