1) Answer to 11.1 My answer to the first question is A. I personally believe that A is far better paraphrase than B. While reading A it seems that it has expressed the expressed the same idea with extra-ordinary uniqueness. It has not only beautifully captured the message within the passage but has also delivered it in most extra-ordinary means. Moreover, using significantly different terms has made the passage equally authentic while it has presented the entire idea by choosing completely different wordings. Another important aspect of passage A is that it not left any single idea from the mother passage and beautifully presented the core ideas unfolded in the topic.
