Question

Which ideas from the excerpt would be most appropriate to include in a summary? Select two options. “Art is the foundation of what it means to be a human.” “We should not cut the funding to the school's art department, because the students will suffer.” “We need to refocus ourselves and reevaluate our priorities.” “Everyone thinks that art class is just fun and games.” “But it is everything else that will suffer when we lack art and beauty in our lives.”

Answer 1

The first one , and im not to sure about the second one but i think its the last one.

Answer 2

The two ideas from the excerpt which would be most appropriate to include in a summary are the following ones:

1-  “Art is the foundation of what it means to be a human.”

2- “But it is everything else that will suffer when we lack art and beauty in our lives.”

Both sentences are appropriate for a summary, since they comprise complex,  intricate themes with the use of only a few words. These themes refer to the most relevant ideas from the text, the central ones.

In sentence number one there is the philosophical tone, and yet it is a short sentence.

In sentence number two, "everything else" is mentioned, which is a broad concept.

Both the human condition and the things besides it will certainly be found in the original text in a developed way.
