<em>B. Gaining the main ideas of passages or the text as a whole
</em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
A summary gives a brief of the majorpoints in a long piece of writing. It can be in a research paper and essays or any other piece of writing. Usually, all the main ideas should be noted in a single paragraph or two, depending on the length of the piece of paper.
A summary is usually written when the original piece may be too long for either presentation or a more fundamental understanding of the concepts. The review leaves out details andinformation and picks out only significant points. The info left may distract the leader from focusing on the main points.
