Teacher: Given a sentence in Japanese, provide an equivalent paraphrased translation in French that retains the same meaning both through the translation and the paraphrase.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
1975  -  76年のNBAシーズンは、全米バスケットボール協会の30番目のシーズンでした。
Solution: La saison 1975-1976 de la National Basketball Association était la 30e saison de la NBA.
Reason: This is a correct and accurate translation from Japanese to French because the translated paraphrase retains the main message that between the years 1975-1976, the 30th NBA season occurred.

Now, solve this instance: Kevin Lepageが3位、Terry Labonteが4位、Robby Gordonが5位となりました。
Student:
Kevin Lepage a commencé troisième, Terry Labonte quatrième et Robby Gordon s'est qualifié cinquième.
