Question

Read the excerpt from Story of My Life by Helen Keller.

Which detail from the excerpt is a minor detail that is
not necessary in a summary?
be
O Laura Bridgman had dressed the doll that Miss
Sullivan gave to Helen.
O After Helen played with her doll, Miss Sullivan
spelled the word "d-o-1-1" into Helen's hand.
O Helen copied Miss Sullivan and made the letters for
doll with her hand,
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her
room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the
Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had
dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When
I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly
spelled into my hand the word "d-0-1-1." I was at once
interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When
I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was
flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running
downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made
the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a
word or even that words existed; I was simply making
my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that
followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way
a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a
few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had
been with me several weeks before I understood that
everything has a name.
O Helen learned to spell many words with her fingers
but she did not understand their meaning.
