Which element should be included in a summary of a text?

Question

interesting metaphors

the reader conclusions

the central ideas

other texts on the same topic

Answer 1

In a summary of a text, the element that should be included is the central ideas. A summary focuses on capturing the main points and essential themes of the original text, rather than personal interpretations or comparisons to other texts. Interesting metaphors, reader conclusions, and references to other texts are typically not essential for a summary.
