Answer 1

The correct answer is option A) Summary.

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) summary.

Step-by-step explanation:

A summary is the rewriting of a pre-existing text in a brief, coherent and concise way, written in our own words, always respecting the content of the work. The length of the abstract may vary, but must not exceed 25% of the original text. This allows the reader to have in a simplified way the most important information in a text.
