Theory

The summary must include the main points of the paragraph. It need not include illustrations of the point or elaborations of it but it MUST always include the main point
Do not get distracted by less important facts in the paragraph. The first thing you must search among the options is whether or not they address the main point of the paragraph
A summary should be crisp and to the point. Hence, eliminate options that give too much of irrelevant details

Tip

If an example or illustration is given, it would be an illustration of this main point.
