Paraphrasing is "expressing the meaning of (something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity." (Lexico). When asking your question, mention particularly what you're having difficulty with, and how you have attempted to paraphrase the passage yourself. You must demonstrate an attempt: we don't provide a paraphrasing service.
