In the letter, King, mentions how Socrates made people think by creating tension in the mind, and how he wants to do the same so that in a non violent way, people would become a better version of themselves (not racist) and would therefore come together as a brotherhood. Taking into account these ideas, the correct answer would be option B: "The strain among opposing groups in Birmingham was similar to the creative blockades in ancient Athens, to which Socrates referred". Option A is incorrect because Socrates and King were not seeking the same goal. Option C is incorrect because King never mentions city officials or that Socrates petitioned Greek city-states and finally option D is incorrect because King never mentions that Socrates was trying to achieve harmony between warring groups.

Well, to summarize a passage, you'd first have to read the passage. Afterwards, you'd most likely want to make sure that you understood it. Taking notes isn't required, but it's helpful if you aren't strong in understanding them. Next up, you'd probably try to find the main idea. Summarizing is something that you could do easily, even in your everyday life. You watch a cool movie this month? Summarize it.
Let's say I had just watched Endgame and I was SUPER eager to share it with somebody, but I can't give away the whole movie or else they wouldn't want to watch it and they'd most likely get mad at you. You'd have to summarize it. State the main idea and thesis and make sure that they can figure out what the plot is without you having to tell them the plot. You're welcome. (:

Really it depends upon what the author makes it. If it's a published book, it's a for entertaining purposes. If it was informal, it's be a biography.
