Answer:

Summarize the text is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The main idea in a text is the most important one, so the text was written around it. Summarize means to go back to the text and take the main ideas and put them together in a short paragraph. By doing so, you could realize what is important and what isn't. Due to this, it is the correct answer.

Main Idea

The first place to start is with your main idea. The main idea is the key concept being expressed or examined. Putting this in our movie frame of reference, the main idea would be the broad context on what the movie is about, or the genre in which the movie will be viewed. Is it a romantic comedy about high school sweethearts? Maybe it's a historical drama about the Battle of Waterloo or the sinking of the Titanic. The main idea is the overall gist of what the piece will be dealing with as a whole.

Thesis Statements

Okay, so now that we have the main idea, we need to prepare ourselves to clearly explain it to our audience, the reader. What we need is a thesis statement! A thesis statement is a one- or two-sentence condensation of your argument or analysis that will follow in your writing. The thesis statement is our narrowing of our overall main idea.

Moving along with our movie idea, let's say our main idea is a romantic comedy about two high school sweethearts. While that helps narrow things a bit from the entire genre of romantic comedy, it doesn't really help give us the detail we need to truly understand what is unique about our movie. However, I can add the thesis statement

about how much time separates the third part of the Memoir from the second part in Traveling From Just As I Thought​
Gnoma [55]

The third part has been separated from the second part since the fifty years.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Travelling, the short story by Grace Paley, is about when Paley's mom and sister rode the transport during the twenties and wouldn't climb from the rear of the transport, in spite of the way that "'It's for them'– waving behind him at the Negroes, among whom they were presently sitting."

Paley associates this occasion with a minute in her own life when she offered her own seat on a transport to a dark lady holding her infant, and at last wound up holding the lady's kid for her so as to allow her to rest, notwithstanding the way that other white individuals on the transport couldn't help contradicting such a game-plan. The piece is superficially about the bigotry of the time, not sudden from Paley, who went through the greater part of her time on earth as an extremist, but at the same time is about the occasions that stay with us and shape us and about the associations that exist between individuals from a family.

Colored people don’t like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don’t feel good about Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Burn it. Someone’s
True [87]

This is another excuse that the Captain Beatty gives to Montag for why destroying books is good for the society. According to him, any person can potentially be offended by a subject, also he argues that all books are better off destroyed than allowed to incite anger. Captain Beatty uses an example of a book and linking it tobacco and cancer. Something curious is that he shows the benefit of destroying information about lung cancer to keep cigarette companies happy, but there are risks that we can see since people will be less informed of what smoking can do.

Hope this helps.
