** By: Lauren D, Hayden V , Kenny M, Alex A. ** What we did to find our answer is we took multiple subjects and had them read above college level passage and then after they read they were to summarize the passage with 2 or 3 supporting details. We wanted to know if they would paraphrase the passage without being asked to. Scale: 1-5, 1 easiest, 5 hardest Andy Imm- 4 Ben Hemmelgarn-3 Sophie Yungblut- 5 Graham Hodges- 5 Saunders Swan- 4.78 Michael Wharton- 5 Matthew Sodd- 3 Megan Proffit-3 Ma'kayla Thompson -3 Michele Sunday- 5

 * Conclusion: ** I think that the passage does matter, but the results are more affected on the skill level of the test subject.
