Part 2: Summarizing an Author’s Viewpoint in an Informational Text

Question 8 • FDR English 8 - EES88 - FULL CREDIT COURSE

Which line would be best to include in a summary of "Early Victorian Tea Set”?

Answer
A
British citizens should not have been so aggressive when planting tea in India.
B
Do you like to drink tea? Me, too! This chapter is about tea in Great Britain.
C
I disagree with MacGregor’s opinion that the quest for tea caused much violence worldwide.
D
MacGregor shows that the British desire for tea changed many nations around the world.

Explanation

A summary should state the chapter’s main idea objectively, rather than give a personal opinion or ask the reader a question. Choice D explains the broad impact of Britain’s desire for tea on many nations, making it the best summary statement. Choices A and C are opinions, and B is informal and too narrow.
