Explanation:

1. Proper Paraphrases (Green Circle):

• These sentences rephrase the original text's core meaning (crowd standing, cheering loudly for the 1996 US women's gymnastics team entering the Georgia Dome for the Olympic finals, and the author's fascination) using new wording without directly copying phrases.
• The second proper paraphrase closely matches the specific details (venue, event, crowd action) while rephrasing.

1. Improper Paraphrases (Red X):

• The first improper paraphrase reverses the timeline (says fans reacted after the team entered, but the original states the crowd was already on their feet before the team filed in).
• The second improper paraphrase directly quotes the original text's phrase "the most captivating thing I had ever seen" without rephrasing, which is not proper paraphrasing.

Answer:

Properly Paraphrased (Green Circle):

• The author was fascinated by how thrilled the fans were as the Olympic gymnasts walked in to compete.

Improperly Paraphrased (Red X):
