Which term refers to the act of producing a concise restatement of the reading?

• A. Written Summary
• B. Summarizing
• C. Outline
• D. Sequence of Steps

Answer: (B)

Summarizing is the act of producing a concise restatement of what you read. It involves pulling out the main ideas and essential details and expressing them in fewer words, so the overall meaning is clear without extra examples or digressions. A written summary refers to the finished short version of the text, not the act itself. An outline organizes content by topics and subtopics, rather than condensing it into a brief restatement. A sequence of steps describes a process in order, which is about procedure, not summarizing content. So the activity described is summarizing.
