Answer

Answer:

B. The Battle of Midway is noteworthy because it was the first naval battle in which neither side was within sight of the other, according to Tricia Gomez.

Brief Explanations:

  • Option A: Changes the original statement "neither fleet was within sight of the other" to "two fleets never actually saw each other" (rephrasing issue) and also combines information from different parts of the passage in a way that may not be proper paraphrasing.
  • Option B: Correctly uses the source (Tricia Gomez) and rephrases the key point about it being the first naval battle with no visual contact between fleets in a proper way.
  • Option C: "Midway is known as..." is a less accurate rephrasing compared to option B and also doesn't follow the same structure as the original passage's emphasis on it being a turning - point and having other characteristics.
  • Option D: Just copies parts of the original passage ("the Battle of Midway was the turning point in the Pacific theater... turning back an offensive") without proper rephrasing for the non - copied parts.
