lines 1-5: paraphrase or state in your own words what bradford is trying to communicate in the first sentence.

The correct answer is The pilgrims who were on board the Mayflower ship began to have health problems so they had to abandon the ship.

Explanation:

The important thing when paraphrasing something is to do it in your own words. You must read the text and interpret it well so as not to be accused of plagiarism.

Let us also remember that the Mayflower was the ship in charge of transporting the pilgrims in 1620. As many of them spent a large part of their days living on this ship, they began to present symptoms of diseases such as colds, fevers and coughs which caused the death of many of its crew.
