Answer 1

Select:
- my own words — Yes
- contemporary language — Yes
- the main ideas of the original — Yes
- the important details of the original — Yes
- synonyms of unfamiliar words — No

Brief justification: the paraphrase restates the original in simpler, modern wording using the writer’s own phrasing, preserving the main idea and key details (parents’ anger, doomed love, death ending the feud) but it’s not primarily a maneuver of swapping in synonyms for unfamiliar words.
