Question

Read the legend titled "The Bird Chief."

All the birds were called together. To them was said, “Whichever one of you can fly farthest into the sky shall be chief.”

All the birds flew to a great height. But Wren got under the thick feathers of Eagle and sat there as Eagle flew. When all the birds became wing-tired, they flew down again; but Eagle flew still higher. When Eagle had gone as far as he could, Wren flew still higher.

When all the birds reached the ground, Eagle alone returned, after a great while. Behold! Wren only was absent. So they awaited him. At last he returned. Eagle had too highly been thinking of himself, being sure of being made chief; and behold! Wren was made chief.

How should a summary of this story begin?

by describing how Wren hid under Eagle's wing
with the words, "Long ago, in a far-away land"
by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest
with the words, "Eagle had too highly been thinking of himself"

C. by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest.

Explanation:

The purpose of a summary is tell the story in a shorter way. It should not eliminate important information, nor should it include unnecessary information. In this particular case, we should maintain the beginning of the story as the beginning of the summary. If we skip it, the story will not make sense. Everything that happens happens because of the contest between the birds. Therefore, a summary of this story should begin with C. by explaining that all the birds came together for a contest.
