Which of the following flaws can be found in this summary of the excerpt?
MariettaO [177]

We can actually deduce here the flaw that can be found in this summary of the excerpt is: The summary gives the reader’s personal opinion.

<h3>What is summary?</h3>

Summary refers to a brief line of sentences that is written in order to point out some main points of a main passage or text. It's seen when writing conclusion.

The excerpt that completes the question is:

Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn. Brooklyn becomes available, henceforth, as a place of residence to thousands, to whom the ability to reach their places of business without interruption from fog and ice is of paramount importance. To all Brooklyn's present citizens a distinct boon is given. The certainty of communication with New York afforded by the Bridge is the fundamental benefit it confers. Read the following summary of the excerpt. It is great that the Brooklyn Bridge finally created new business opportunities by allowing the citizens of Brooklyn to easily commute to Manhattan.

Thus, we see here that flaw in this summary is that it actually gives the reader's personal opinion.

One of the basic points in your statement is that the action that I and my associates have taken in Birmingham is untimely. Some
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

King's claim in this passage is that a "determined legal and nonviolent pressure" must be mounted to end segregation in Birmingham.

Explanation:

A claim is an assertion or a statement that something or an event is correct as stated.  A claim may not be true.  It is therefore subject to proof.  That is why claims usually require evidence to substantiate them.  For instance, in preparing a set of financial statements, the principal officers (the chief executive and the chief financial officers) make assertions (claims) that the information presented therein is factual, fair, and truthful, etc.  Such assertions remain mere claims until they are proved to be true.  This is why external auditors, who are supposedly, independent of the management of the company, are expected to confirm or disconfirm such claims before the financial statements can be relied upon for any decision.
