B. Putting ideas and concepts together to form a conclusion.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Putting ideas and concepts together to form a conclusion

Explanation:

The word synthesizing refers to the process of combining two or more elements to create a new one. Similarly, in the case or reading and writing synthesizing occurs as two or more ideas, statements or concepts are combined in order to create a new one. This usually implies identifying and understanding the ideas or concepts that will be combined, selecting the key point in them and creating a new one based on inferences and without changing the essence of the text. Additionally, this process can be carried out using the ideas provided in one material or text or even ideas from different sources. Considering the previous ideas, an example of synthesizing is "Putting ideas and concepts together to form a conclusion" because for doing this, it is required to take two elements (ideas and concepts), understand them and summarize them to create a new element (a conclusion) which is exactly the purpose of synthesizing.
