Well, if we're summarizing a literary text about a teen running for student body president, we should probably focus on their campaign and actions related to it. So, out of the options given, I would say the sentence that could be included in the summary would be: "Marta missed the school dance to focus on her campaign for student body president." It shows her dedication and commitment to her campaign.
To determine which sentence could be included in a summary of a literary text about a teen running for student body president, we need to consider what information is relevant to the central theme or plot of the text.
In this case, the question is asking specifically about the summary of the literary text. A summary is a brief overview of the main points or events of a text.
Looking at the sentences provided, we can eliminate options 2 and 3 ("Marta is an ambitious, daring, and unapologetic character" and "Marta's campaign posters were mostly purple and black") because they do not pertain directly to Marta's campaign for student body president.
Option 1, "Marta missed the school dance to focus on her campaign for student body president," is directly related to Marta's campaign and shows her dedication and commitment to the election. This sentence provides significant information about Marta's choices and priorities during the campaign.
Option 4, "Marta demonstrated cool confidence as she practiced her stirring speech in front of the class," also provides relevant information about Marta's campaign. It showcases her confidence and preparation for the election.
Both options 1 and 4 are likely to be included in a summary of a literary text about a teen running for student body president.
To select the most appropriate answer, we may need additional context from the text to determine which sentence carries more significance or is more closely aligned with the main theme. However, based solely on the information provided, both options are viable for inclusion in a summary.
