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.

From the book "David Copperfield" imagine yourself as David and explain what you would have done if you had seen Miss Betsy mist
slega [8]

I imagined myself as David. So as per question,:-

" <em>If I had seen Miss Betsy Trotwood mistreating David's mother, .i.e., my mother, then i would feel to mistreat her back and take revenge. But i cant. This is because I have to accept Miss Betsy Trotwood as a guest and mother. Also, Pegotty would feel bad for mistreating Betsy as she is the lady of my mother's new would-be husband. </em>

<em> It means that infront of everyone, i would be doing an immoral behaviour by taking revenge on my aunt. I can even be told to leave the house at the moment. I also am a boy younger and unmatured than her. </em>

<em>But after going to Salem's, I would come back and tell her how rude she was to my mom and me because now I have been matured and would have a power to talk back.</em> "

This is what I would have done.
