When providing a summary, you will want to leave out details and recant only the facts as you read them.  Answer “A” has just a little too much detail to be correct.  What, too, is important is to avoid providing your opinion or from sounding like you are inserting your opinion.  In answer “B,” with the words, “Surely there must have been green somewhere…” there is an opinionated tone that exists (even though this was the sentiment of the narrator in the excerpt).  In answer “C,” opinion has obviously been inserted, and this can be seen with the words, “which makes no sense whatsoever.”  As such, the best possible summary is “D.”
