Question

What is the best method Javier can use if he wants to include a lot of the information from the article but doesn't have enough room to include it all? Group of answer choices paraphrase- take the original language and change it a little but keep a similar length summarize- take the main ideas from the original and condense them direct quote- use big sections of the original and put the whole thing in quotation marks he shouldn't use the source; it's too long

Answer 1

B). Summarize- take the main ideas from the original and condense them

Step-by-step explanation:

Summarizing is elucidated as the brief restatement or reiteration of key ideas of the text in a precise manner.

Therefore, the most appropriate method for Javier to give a concise yet significant form to the ten-page long article is to 'summarize it.' This will help her in preparing a detailed yet precise research paper that includes all the main ideas discussed in the original article in a decisive and condensed form. Paraphrasing the main ideas briefly without including her personal opinion is the key aspect of summarizing will aid her including a lot of information in a limited space. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
