writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
summary
B
short summary
C
brief summary
D
summary and overview
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. A "summary" is by definition a brief statement or account.
Choice B is incorrect because "short" is redundant with "summary." Choice C is incorrect because "brief" is part of the definition of a summary. Choice D is incorrect because "overview" implies the same thing as a summary here.
