She is not sure why she only remembers the dust, but she remembers the brown, crumbly dust of late summer—arid, sterile dust that gets into the eyes and makes them water, gets into the throat and between the toes of bare brown feet. She thinks there must have been green somewhere in town, but she cannot remember it. She says memories are not based on reality but on feeling. B. When the narrator thinks of the hometown from her youth, all she remembers is dust. She is not sure why she only remembers the dust, but she does and in great detail.

When the narrator thinks of the hometown from her youth, all she remembers is dust. She is not sure why she only remembers the dust, but she does and in great detail.

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.”
