The two most important details to look for in a summary are the lines:
- The steamer was forced to proceed slowly, and the captain estimated that she would reach Hong Kong twenty hours behind.
- But this man never manifested neither impatience nor annoyance; it seemed as if the storm were a part of this program, and had been foreseen.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- A summary refers to the most important parts of a text, which can summarize paragraphs showing only the most significant sentences.
- The excerpt shown in the question above aims to show how violent the sea was during the trip, causing a delay in the journey. However, this delay did not disturb the captain who acted as if this had been foreseen and he was ready for this situation.
By demonstrating the two sentences responsible for these parts, the reader can make a good summary of the text directly and succinctly.
