Read this text from a biographical website dedicated to "Shoeless" Joe Jackson:

There was no time for school, and Joe never learned to read or write. He probably would have spent the rest of his life working in the textile mill except for one thing—baseball.

Which paraphrase best avoids issues of plagiarism?

A. With little time for education, Joe did not learn to read and would have worked all his life in the mill without baseball.

B. Because there was no time for school, Joe never learned to read or write and probably would have spent the rest of his life working in the textile mill except for one thing—baseball.

C. He would have spent his life working in the textile mill except for baseball because there was no time for school, and Joe never learned to read or write.

D. Joe never learned to read or write since there was no time for school, and he would have worked his whole life in the textile mill without baseball.
