Seems to me that the second option looks as if it were correct. While paraphrasing and summarizing, you are trying to shorten up an original piece of writing. Giving a well developed descriptions of main ideas isn't something to look for in paraphrasing, so that's why the first option is incorrect. In addition, restating basically everything from a text is not called paraphrasing nor summarizing, and that is why I'd rather classify it as copying.
