The excerpt above is from page 21 of harry potter and the sorcerer's stone by j. k. rowling. which passage represents a paraphrase from the excerpt above?

a wind sweeps gently over the trimmed hedges of privet drive, which lies quiet and neat under the dark sky, not a place where one would expect anything out of the ordinary to occur (rowling 21).
harry potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, unaware that his life has changed forever (rowling 21).
while potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, he "[sleeps] on, not knowing he [is] special” and praised all over the country (rowling 21).
the harry potter books are so entertaining because they paint a picture of a world in which we all want to live. we all long to find that extraordinary secret that will reveal our own special quality. like little infant potter waiting outside his aunt and uncle's house (rowling 21), it's just a matter of time until we find that we are, after all, special.
