Answer:

A. Condense the author's idea into a shortened version but in your own words

Explanation:

D. Take an author's idea word for word from the text is plagiarism, unless you are are quoting.  C. Rewriting the author's idea in your own words in a version that is about the same length is paraphrasing. A. is the definition of summarize. When someone asks you to "sum up" a story, they are asking you to give you a shorter version of the story with only the most important parts. Paraphrasing and summarizing sound pretty similar, but the key difference is in length. A paraphrase should be about the same length as the original idea, summarizing should be shorter. B. is also wrong, since you are <em>expanding </em>upon the author's thoughts, when summarizing tries to condense them.

Could someone please describe a werewolf chasing its prey. The setting is a rainy isolated street and could you please describe
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

As i chase the dog down the street, it feels like its getting father and father away. I feel the hard concrete beneath my feet. All i hear is the sound of the rain pattering against the ground. As i run as fast as my legs can, I slowly catch up to the dog. We ran past old houses. As the lightning struck, i jumped on the dog and bit it's neck. It died instantly. AS i slowly dragged the body out of the street, I felt very hungry. I bit and scratched at the dog until his body ripped open. i ate like i haven't eaten in days. I chewed on the bones and licked the blood as if it was water. I left the dog's carcass there and walked into the dark woods. Never looking back.

Based on the information provided, the suffix –ist here most likely means:

“one who practices”

<u>Explanation:</u>

A suffix is/are a group of letters that are added towards the end of a noun or verb which would add more meaning to the word or also change the function of the word.

Regarding the same, the letters –ist is added to the word science which makes it “scientist” and similarly for atom, making it “atomists”. This changes the meaning of the word by making it belong to a person in the form of an occupation that a person holds.
