Sandy is writing about Nicholas Kristof’s essay "Do You Care More about a Dog Than a Refugee?” for a general audience. Which phrase from the essay would she likely need to paraphrase to make it more accessible to readers who may not be familiar with international relations?

Answer
A
“Let me push back”
B
“The column sparked passionate disagreement”
C
“eschew the military toolbox”
D
“a human is a human”
E
“the Iraq war was a disaster”

Explanation

“Eschew the military toolbox” uses specialized, figurative language: “eschew” means avoid, and the “military toolbox” refers to military options or strategies. Readers unfamiliar with international relations may not understand the phrase without a simpler paraphrase, such as “avoid using military force.” The other phrases use more familiar everyday language.
