Which statements describe what to do when writing an effective summary of a speech? Choose three correct answers.

An effective summary states the speech’s central idea in your own words, then gives a few important supporting details. It should also present the ideas in the order they appear so the summary follows the speech’s development. Including every detail or focusing on rhetorical techniques would make the summary less concise and less focused on the speech’s main ideas.
