Paraphrasing is the act of rewriting something written or spoken in different words, while still expressing the original meaning. Often it is done to increase the clarity or simplicity of a statement. When paraphrasing, the text should be rewritten without quoting or copying. Thus, the answer here is."restate it in her own words".
