Question

Read the excerpt from The Common Sense of Bicycling: Bicycling for Ladies.

As you place the saddle forward raise it in front. Many riders fail to do this, and the result is that they have to bear heavily on the handles to keep from slipping forward.

Read the paraphrase that Bruno wrote to help him understand the excerpt.

To avoid grabbing the handles too hard when you ride, slide the saddle forward but raise the front of the saddle, too.

To improve his paraphrase, Bruno should

add extra ideas like “and loosen your grip” that clarify the meaning.
delete “slide the saddle forward” to maintain the meaning of the original excerpt.
add information about avoiding “slipping forward” to include key details he skipped.
change the phrase “grabbing the handles” to be restated in his own words.

Answer 1

add information about avoiding “slipping forward” to include key details he skipped.

Explanation: Bruno kept the instruction to move and raise the saddle but omitted the reason/effect in the original (to prevent slipping forward). A good paraphrase should preserve that key causal detail.
