Apart from the guiding questions provided in the passage, below are some steps to make a good summary:
- Eliminate non-vital information.
- Join sentences with related ideas.
- Re-organize ideas to improve sentence fluency.
Taking these into consideration, here is an example summary from the passage taken from History and Geography 7, Unit 6.
Archaeologists discovered that people came to the North American continent long ago possibly by crossing fifty-six miles between Asia and Alaska. While the date and details of their trip remain unknown, as nomads, they migrated during the spring and summer in search of food for their herds and camped during the winter. Eventually, they settled from the east coast to the tip of South America. Artifacts found from this era were used for hunting animals to get food and clothing.

Answer:
The option which best explains how the historical passage might enhance a reader's understanding of the personal narrative is:
B. The historical passage connects the personal experience of planting and harvesting corn with technical information about farming.
Explanation:
We can easily eliminate option A because the passage does not show evidence of why the Wampanoag were once hunter-gatherers. Quite the opposite, instead of gathering they are farming in the passage.
Letter C claims that the story told by the grandfather is more factual. Looking this passage up online, I found the previous lines. The grandfather is actually telling a sort of fantastic story involving Mother Earth and the prairie rabbit. We can also eliminate this option.
Letter D claims that the passage is about modern technology and how it changed the Wampanoag's relationship with their harvest. However, the passage does not mention technology at all.
The best option then seems to be letter B. While the grandfather is talking about his experience with planting and farming, the narrator is describing it in more technical details: the types of crops that were sowed together and why.
