Which statement best paraphrases the passage? Listen! A farmer went out to sow* his seed. As he was
scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the
birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where
it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because
the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the
plants were scorched, and they withered because they
had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up
and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.
Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and
produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty,
some a hundred times.
- The parable of the sower,
Mark 4:3-8
*sow: plant
After scattering seeds, the farmer realized that only
seeds planted in the gpod soil grew into crops.
After the birds ate the farmer's seeds, the farmer
planted seeds in rocky places, but the seeds did not
grow into crops.
When the sun burned the weak crops, the farmer
planted seeds in shallow soil.
Because the farmer could not get his crops to grow,
the farmer stopped planting seeds.
