The desert is a harsh, inhospitable place. Only a few plants and animals can survive there, because their bodies have adapted to the desert's lack of water and dramatic changes in temperature. These plants and animals have developed ways to find water in unexpected places or to conserve water by staying out of the heat. Humans who live in the desert have technologies that help them with the heat and lack of water.

Which answer option best evaluates how well the following summary reflects the original passage?

People should avoid living in the desert whenever possible, because unlike other species, humans' bodies have not adapted to the desert's harsh conditions.

B. The summary is weak because it states a personal opinion rather than expressing the main point of the passage.

C. The summary is strong because it mentions the main idea and a key detail from the passage.

D. The summary is weak because its details are unclear and do not match those of the passage.​
