Example 1- Option A ORIGINAL PASSAGE They have become part of our imaginations' landscape: the crusty Grinch who stole Christmas, gentle Horton the elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and the persistent Sam-I-Am with his green eggs and ham. All these and many more are the creations of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to generations of readers as Dr. Seuss. Since publishing his first children's book over fifty years ago, Geisel became perhaps the most successful writer in the whole field of children's literature. Theodor Geissel, known by everyone as Dr. Seuss, has been publishing children’s books for over half a century. Because of characters Horton and Sam I Am, Dr. Seuss is the quintessential author in American children’s literature.

Example 2- Option A Original Passage The adventuresome Cat in the Hat runs amok while Mother is away, leaving a horrible mess for the two astonished children who are so well behaved. The remarkable qualities of the story are its rhyme--done with only 223 words--and its quirky illustrations that are as silly as the tale itself. The Cat in the Hat has many qualities that appeal to children. Using only 223 words and a catchy rhyme scheme, Dr. Seuss wrote the story of the naughty Cat in the Hat who gets himself into trouble. Children enjoy the adventurous story, and they can also learn to read because of the rhyming words. . I like the noise that you added here for the paraphrased passage. Could you do that for the others?
