Paraphrasing
The question should actually appear as follows:
Rereading and _______ a text can help readers understand difficult passages.
If a passage is difficult, what one should do is attempt to read the passage a second time. After rereading it, one should paraphrase what was just read—retell the information in your own words. Paraphrasing is particularly helpful because when one paraphrases, a basic understanding is fostered as paraphrasing requires one to “process” information in way that simply reading does not require.
