Which of these is an element of summarizing, but not paraphrasing?

Answer
A

B
understanding the central ideas in a text
C
restating most of the ideas from an original text
D
putting ideas from a text in one’s own words

Explanation

Summarizing condenses a text into a broad overview of its central ideas. Paraphrasing, by contrast, restates specific ideas or most of the original content in your own words. Therefore, giving a broad overview is the element unique to summarizing.
