Paraphrasing and Summarizing a Political Speech

Question 9 • FL-1001345-English 2 B-CR

Which sentence from "For the ERA" contains a minor detail that should not be included in a summary of Chisholm's ideas?

Answer
A
"The amendment is necessary to clarify countless ambiguities and inconsistencies in our legal system."
B
"The Social Security Act and the civil service and military service retirement acts are in conflict."
C
"Laws setting employment limitations on the basis of sex are irrational, and the proof of this is their inconsistency from state to state."
D
"Social and psychological effects will be initially more important than legal or economic results."

Explanation

A summary of Chisholm’s ideas should focus on her main claims about the need for the ERA and its broad effects. The specific conflict between the Social Security Act and retirement laws is a supporting example, not a central idea. Therefore, choice B, “The Social Security Act and the civil service and military service retirement acts are in conflict,” is the minor detail to leave out.
