Central Ideas in The Building of Manhattan

Question 1 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex

Which of these is an element of both paraphrasing and summarizing?

Answer
A
giving a broad overview of central ideas
B
shortening the length of the original text
C
restating all of a text’s ideas and details
D
putting ideas from a text in one’s own words

Explanation

Both paraphrasing and summarizing express the source’s ideas in your own words, so D is correct. A summary gives a broad overview of central ideas, while a paraphrase typically restates a particular passage with more of its details. Shortening is characteristic of summarizing, and restating all details is not required for both.
