Read the summary of the section of "The Beginnings of the Maasai,” where the volcanic eruption and its results are described.
As a result of a volcanic eruption, Enkai and the cattle were thrown into the sky. Enkai wanted to save his cattle. He grew a tree that bridged the sky and the earth. The cattle walked down the tree to Neiterkob. Neiterkob and the Maasai tribe took over caring for the cattle.
Why does the summary need to be revised?
The summary incorrectly restates the central idea.
The summary includes too many minor details.
The summary lacks transitions that connect ideas.
The summary is missing important words and phrases.
Answer:
The summary lacks transitions that connect ideas.
Explanation:
From the excerpt of "The Beginnings of the Masai", the narrator first begins to talk about a volcanic eruption and how Enkai and the cattle were thrown into the sky and how Enkai tried to save his cattle by growing a tree that bridged the sky and the earth.
However, the narrator failed to make use of transitions that would connect his ideas which made his summary seem amateurish.
Transitions are words that are used to link ideas in a sentence. An example of transition words are <em>However, But, Therefore, As a result of, </em>etc.
