This is a challenging task, as the input is only a short sentence, and there's no context to paraphrase. The most effective "paraphrasing" would be to simply reword it slightly, which might not be considered true paraphrasing in the strictest sense.
Here are a few options, each with slightly different emphasis:
-
Option 1 (Slight rewording): Maneuver the tray to capture the ball. It appears simple, yet proves difficult.
-
Option 2 (More descriptive): Guide the tray to pick up the ball. The task seems straightforward, but it's actually quite challenging.
-
Option 3 (Focus on difficulty): Collecting the ball with the tray is deceptively difficult.
None of these options significantly change the meaning, but they offer slight variations in wording. Without more context, more substantial paraphrasing isn't possible.
