Which statement best summarizes the passage?

B.

Explanation:

Statement B is the one that best summarizes the passage. A summary is an outline of the major points of a text. A summary is meant to give you an idea of the text without describing its details. In this case, option A is not giving you a summary, but is instead giving an analysis of the events. Options C and D do not mention a lot of elements that are important to the story. Option B, on the other hand, provides a summary of the information without drawing any conclusions.
