Briefly explain your answers.

original text is well explained in the thesis statement.
2. Does the summary present the important details only?
Yes, because the information is all about the main topic.
3. Are the details paraphrased? No, because the summary was written based on the ideas of the
author presented in the original text. The paraphrased version isn’t properly cited either.

question.
