Question

which two sentences should be included in a summary of the passage?
lina reads a story about a dragon to uncle lou.
lina uses her favorite pencil to write her assignment.
ms. martinez asks the students to write a realistic story.
ramona suggests that lina write a story about a tap dancer.
lina finds it difficult to write about things she knows little about.

Explanation:

To determine the sentences for the summary, we analyze the main events. Ms. Martinez's assignment (asking for a realistic story) is a key setup. Lina's difficulty with writing about unfamiliar topics is a central conflict. The other options are either minor details (using a pencil, reading to Uncle Lou) or specific suggestions (Ramona's tap dancer idea) that are less central to the main narrative of the assignment and Lina's struggle.

Answer:

C. Ms. Martinez asks the students to write a realistic story, E. Lina finds it difficult to write about things she knows little about
