Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The strategy which makes use of summarizing to understand written documents is called paraphrasing. It is the act of writing an author's word in one's own word.

However, before one could paraphrase, the context or subject being discussed must be really understood. Here, the main contents in the discussed are preserved when paraphrasing in order not to lose relevance.

Guessing from contents means knowing the exact meaning of every words used in a context. The idea here is not to summarize the written document.

Previewing is when the summary of a content is being read inoder to have a general idea of the content. The whole summary of a passage or content are displayed at a glance.

Skimming. In skimming, one look out for certain key words and phrases rather than summarizing the whole contents.

Taking notes. Note taking involves writing down main ideas, summary and vocabulary in order to have full knowledge of what the whole contents entails.
