    Explanation
    The given answer is false because it is a response to a question that is not provided. Without the question, it is impossible to determine the accuracy of the answer. Since the question is not given, it is not possible to provide a specific explanation for why the answer is false. Therefore, without further information, it is not possible to determine the correctness of the answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A summary is always written in ______ tense.

    • Past

    • Present

    • Future

    Correct Answer
    A. Present
    Explanation
    A summary is always written in present tense because it is a concise and condensed version of the original text. By using present tense, the summary reflects the current state of the information and makes it more relevant and accessible to the reader. Additionally, present tense helps to maintain consistency and clarity throughout the summary.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    There are ___ steps to making a good summary.

    Correct Answer
    7
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 7 because the question states that there are a certain number of steps to making a good summary, and the answer provided matches that number. Therefore, it can be inferred that the correct number of steps is indeed 7.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A good summary should be _______.

    • Long long

    • Short

    • Medium length

    • About as long as the text

    Correct Answer
    A. About as long as the text
    Explanation
    A good summary should be about as long as the text because it aims to provide a concise and condensed version of the main points and ideas presented in the original text. If the summary is too long, it may include unnecessary details and lose its effectiveness in capturing the essence of the text. On the other hand, if it is too short, it may fail to adequately convey the key information. Therefore, a summary that is about as long as the text strikes a balance between being comprehensive and concise.
