which paraphrasing mistake did jasmine make?
○ she used language too close to the original text.
○ she misrepresented the author’s ideas.
○ she did not properly cite the source material.
○ she did not include enough details from the original text.

Explanation:

To determine the paraphrasing mistake, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Paraphrasing should rephrase the original text in one's own words. If Jasmine used language too close to the original (e.g., repeating key phrases without sufficient rephrasing), that's a mistake. Looking at the original and her paraphrase, some phrases are very similar (like "believed in the American judicial system", "principles should work for the Cherokees").
• Option 2: The paraphrase seems to convey the author's ideas (John Ross's belief, using the judicial system for Cherokee Nation) so misrepresentation is not the issue.
• Option 3: The question is about paraphrasing mistakes, not citation, so this is irrelevant.
• Option 4: The paraphrase includes key details (John Ross's belief, using judicial system, taking cases), so lack of details is not the mistake.

So the mistake is using language too close to the original text.

Answer:

A. She used language too close to the original text.
