A summary is a shortened version of a piece of writing (e.g. a paragraph, article, chapter, entire book). It should include the text's main ideas - the main points the author is making.

The given excerpt starts with a reference to a popular novel of the '60s, introducing the idea that popular novels from the past often ask provocative questions that are important to consider today. An important point of the passage is that many Americans have given up and say that the nation is no longer great or a land of dreams. Many considered John Wayne to be the last American hero. However, President Reagan believed that John Wayne would argue that he was not the last American hero, because there are many more. What he wants to say is that there is hope for America.

The first, second, and fourth options summarize the text well, including all its main points, which is why they are the correct options.

You have been asked to write an informative article on the importance of healthy eating for an elementary school newspaper. In a
melomori [17]
<span>You can start with a question, an interesting fact, or a description of an event. bUT DO NOT  start with "My essay is about" or "I will be talking about." If you do, your audience will throw tomatoes at you BUT NOT PUTING THEM IN THEIR MOUTHES (no pun intended). I'm telling you. Interesting facts can perk up the audience's attention to the essay (or paragraph). Now, for your body. STAY ON TOPIC! If you go from talking about the importance of eating healthy foods to how to party or even what your favorite foods are, that pretty much deflates this rule and --- more tomatoes. Don't forget to give 3 - 5 facts about why. You should state them in order using transitional words, such as first, second, and third. Or "to start off with", "next", "then you have", and "lastly". These are pretty basic to keep everyone on track. BACK UP YOUR OPINIONS WITH FACTS! This is PROBABLY A persuasive paragraph, so you need to make people agree with you. Bad paragraph: "First, it is important to eat healthy. Second," and at that point --- tomatoes. Facts back up your opinion to prove it correct, and you might even see someone throw away their popcorn listening to you. Lastly is the conclusion --- well, just toss the intro there and change it up. Or, you can make a new one that is catchy. Ex: "So, eating healthy foods (include words from previous sentences), and that is worth more than perking your taste buds to sweets." Now you're ready. Don't stare at that blank paper nervously. i TRIED THAT AND WELL YOU CAN ALREADY SEE THAT I GOT A FACE FULL OF TOMATOES Using these common rules, you will persuade the audience to stop throwing tomatoes at you and stuff that healthy veggie into their mouth.</span>
