About paraphrasing
A : The amount of friction depends on the surface material. The rougher the surface is, the more friction is produced.
B : The quantity of friction is more produced when the surface is rough.
Sentence A is the original text and sentece B is the one that I paraphrased sentence A. Someone says Sentence B is not correct because "the quantity" as subject doesn't match "produce" as verb. Do you think sentence B is grammatically wrong?

0anonymousDo you think sentence B is grammatically wrong?
Yes. For example, 'more produced' doesn't work. Just say
More friction is produced when the surface is rough.
It avoids all that "quantity ... more produced", which is quite awkward.
