This question is incomplete. I have found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the legend titled "The Bird Chief."

All the birds were called together. To them was said, “Whichever one of you can fly farthest into the sky shall be chief.”  

All the birds flew to a great height. But Wren got under the thick feathers of Eagle and sat there as Eagle flew. When all the birds became wing-tired, they flew down again; but Eagle flew still higher. When Eagle had gone as far as he could, Wren flew still higher.  

When all the birds reached the ground, Eagle alone returned, after a great while. Behold! Wren only was absent. So they awaited him. At last he returned. Eagle had too highly been thinking of himself, being sure of being made chief; and behold! Wren was made chief.

How should a summary of this story begin?  

A. by describing how Wren hid under Eagle's wing

B. with the words, "Long ago, in a far-away land"

C. by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest

D. with the words, "Eagle had too highly been thinking of himself"

Answer:

A summary of this story should begin:

C. by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest

Explanation:

When we write a summary, our purpose is to tell something in a shorter, faster way. We must pay attention to and maintain whatever is essential for the story to make sense, ignoring all else in order to keep it short. In the case we are analyzing here, we cannot skip the beginning of the story, otherwise our summary will not make any sense. For that reason, we must begin by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest. The contest is the reason why everything else happened in the story.
