Step by Step Written Solution
Hello. Let's look at this sentence rewriting question. We need to find the option that best expresses the original meaning with different words.
Sentence Rewriting Analysis
Let's break down the original sentence into three key components.
1. Bullying is a worldwide issue.
2. It attracts media attention regularly.
3. It manifests as verbal, physical, and cyberbullying.
The original describes cyberbullying as a recent form, alongside verbal and physical attacks, and notes it is a global issue under constant media watch.
Now let's evaluate option A. It mentions a climate of fear and says most importantly cyberbullying. Neither of these phrases were in the original text, which just listed the types and called it a worldwide issue. So, A is out.
Evaluating Options
~~a) climate of fear, most importantly...~~
Option B says bullying can be in the form of mostly verbal attacks or online abuse. Using the word mostly changes the meaning, as the original gave equal weight to all three types. Plus, it skips physical attacks entirely. So, B is incorrect.
~~b) mostly verbal or online abuse...~~
