Careful, detailed planning and much paperwork enabled the Empire State Building to be put up in record time.

A progress chart and a printed timetable were issued daily. These specified everything to be done that day, identifying each truck that would drive right in onto the first floor, what it would be delivering, and who was responsible to receive it and to use the materials it carried. Each steel piece was numbered to see that it went to the proper derrick and to indicate its proper place in the building.

—The Building of Manhattan,
Donald A. Mackay

Write a paraphrase of the passage.

The Empire State Building was carefully planned to be put up in record time. Daily progress charts were passed out with a printed timetable. The charts specified what would happen on that day, along with identifying each truck that would drive in to deliver materials. The steel pieces were numbered to put it in the proper place.

Hope this helps. I gotta head back.

The question shown above is intended to assess your ability to paraphrase a text, as well as to assess your writing and reading ability. For that reason, it's not right for me to paraphrase your text, but I'll show you how to do it.

Paraphrase is the term that refers to a text that has been rewritten with different words, but with the same meaning as the original text.

In this case, to paraphrase a text, you must:

Read the entire text and reread it until it is completely understood.
Identify the most important points in the text and its meaning.
Rewrite the text, modifying most of the words, but keeping the meaning of the original text.

Paraphrasing allows you to present a text without plagiarizing an author. However, it is important to point out that even in a paraphrase, you need to reference the author and the original text, so that this is not considered plagiarism.
