a paraphrase says the same thing as the original author but it uses different words. options b and d both use the exact same wording. option d is plagiarism because the words are exactly the same but is not in quotation marks. option b embeds the author's words in a sentence but it is not a rewording of the author's original statement. a is also wrong because it is not a restatement of the author's ideas. it adds information about obesity and diabetes. option c includes the key information from the original source and is worded to show clearly the difference between the amount of money americans spent on fast food in 1970 and 2001.
