Explanation:
A summary retells all the major details in a story but with fewer words. Lines spoken by the characters should not be included, and the story shouldn't be changed. A summary should never express the opinion of the one who is summarizing as well.
With that in mind, we can easily choose letter D as the best option. <u>The summary in letter D does not change the story or quote lines, like the other options do.</u> Letter A, for instance, says the Ninja and Pierre are cats that make fun of Syd. That is not really true. They only tease him after Syd provokes them. Letter B states Syd is the toughest kitty on the block, which is also untrue. He believes he is the toughest, but he is not. Letter C quotes a line and changes the ending. The cats do not laugh at Syd after he climbs down the tree. <u>Letter D, on the other hand, includes all important details from the story.</u>

He had been dead for 10 days when the thought occurred to her that she wanted him back.
He had seen the mangled body. She had not. He warned her not to fool around with fate. He knew it would somehow end in disaster.
It was the third wish that undid the effects of the second wish.
Boo Radley was a good person but perceived as someone who must be isolated. He himself chose to isolate himself from society. The justice about whether to judge him as a murderer or a defender was overlooked by Atticus because of Radley's history. The instability of Boo's family highlights the theme of how even within homes, equal human rights can be ignored. Aunt Alexandra is traditional and prejudice at first but becomes open to the views of Atticus because of her love for the family.
