Question

A good summary of an informational text must

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. State, in the student's own words, only the most important ideas.

Explanation:

In a summary of an informational text, the main objective is to state briefly the main ideas or points of a text or author in your own words. This means a good summary is one that includes only the most important ideas or points rather than all details and one in which you use your own words rather than copying the original text of the words of the author. Additionally, a summary should only include a brief account of the source that is summarized but not your personal opinion or analysis of these ideas. Therefore, the statement that defines a good summary of an informational text or any other text is "state, in the student's own words, only the most important ideas".
