Summarizing Central Ideas in The Dark Game, Part 1

Question 13 • TRECA Applied English 9-221

A good summary of an informational text must

Answer
A
include all the details that the text contains about its subject.
B
state, in the student’s own words, only the most important ideas.
C
evaluate whether the text’s author covered the subject matter well.
D
use phrases and sentences taken directly from the original author.

Explanation

A summary condenses an informational text to its central ideas and leaves out minor details. It should express those important ideas in the student’s own words. Including every detail, evaluating the author, or copying the author’s wording does not describe a good summary.
