Answer 2

The correct option is A. Organize and present the main points in an easy-to-follow way.

The summary is a writing that synthesizes the main ideas of a text. The extension of the summary may vary, but usually does not exceed 25% of the original's extension. The summary should show the logical links of the ideas explained in the starting text, even if this means changing the order in which they appear, and the wording should adopt an objective tone, regardless of the point of view of the author of the base text.
