my answer
a brief restatement using your own words

Right.

Your answer is correct! A summary is indeed a brief restatement of a text using your own words. It involves condensing the main ideas and key details of the original text into a more concise form. To create a summary, you should read the original text carefully, identify the main points and supporting details, and then restate them in your own words without adding any new information or ideas. This process helps you to demonstrate your understanding of the text and communicate its key ideas in a more concise manner.
