Which guideline should you keep in mind when paraphrasing the words of your conversation partner?

A) Make paraphrasing concise.
B) Use the exact same words your partner used.
C) Make paraphrasing broad and avoid being too specific.
D) Go beyond the information communicated by your partner.

When paraphrasing, it is important to be concise and avoid adding unnecessary information or changing the meaning of what your partner said. Paraphrasing should summarize the main points of what was said using your own words, while still accurately conveying the intent of the original speaker. Choosing the exact same words (B) can be too restrictive and limit your ability to convey the same message in your own way. Making paraphrasing broad and avoiding specifics (C) can also lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of what was said. Going beyond the information communicated by your partner (D) can be misleading and may not accurately reflect the original message.
