García Márquez spent his childhood with his grandparents who had a great influence on his life.

Which information should be added to make this a complete summary?

A.

how his grandparents influenced his storytelling skills

B.

why his grandparents told him stories when he was young

C.

why he spent his childhood with his grandparents

D.

how his time with his grandparents changed his thoughts

Answer: D

Explanation: The answer is D because the question never said anything about storytelling.

The correct answer is option D. how his time with his grandparents changed his thoughts.

Explanation:

Since the sentence given tells us that his grandparents had great influence on him, what that summary would lack is to tell us how it was that they had influence on him, that is, how his time with his grandparents changed his thoughts.

We might also consider option A as valid, but what cancels this option is that it talks about its storytelling skills, and the initial sentence does not name any of that.
