He includes off-topic information.
B
He misrepresents the author’s ideas.
C
He does not include important details.
D
He uses wording too close to the original text.
Explanation
Cyrus keeps the original details and meaning, but repeats several distinctive phrases almost word for word, including “on vacation in Europe,” “unable to resist,” “soldiers in need,” and “sprang into action.” A paraphrase should express the ideas in substantially different wording, so the best answer is that his wording is too close to the original text.
