Carmen Austin · Answer 1

B

Explanation:

the rest are too specific. in a summary you want to find the overall event, so B works because it is not as specific as the rest

Arnav Mullins · Answer 2

Answer: D

Explanation:

D should be a detail included in a summary of the text because choice D gives a main event that happens in the story. A summary should have a few main events but not too many because that will give the story away. A summary should also be intriguing. This means it should make the reader want to read the story that the summary is about. Finally, make sure your summary is not too long. Make sure that is 3-5 sentences long, at least a paragraph, or just however long your teachers tells you to make it.
