Which best describes a retelling?

a. an explanation written in one’s own words that provides all of the details and information in a text
b. a written response that provides a personal opinion related to the central idea of a text
c. a short statement written in one’s own words that provides the key points or central idea of a text
d. a formal report that provides scientific facts and data to support the ideas in a text

The correct answer is A. An explanation written in one’s own words that provides all of the details and information in a text

Explanation:

The word "retelling" that is defined as "recount or inform again" refers to the action of presenting either through a text or oral presentation the content of other material without omitting any details of them, which means all the content is preserved but different words or language is used from the original. This implies retelling is different from other processes such as summarizing, evaluating or analyzing because the objective is not to evaluate the content of a text or material or to state only the key points but to report all the original ideas on it.

Considering this, the statement that best describe retelling is "An explanation written in one’s own words that provides all of the details and information in a text", because this is the only option in which the information from the original source is being preserved and the voice or opinion of the author is not included, which means the content of the original text  is just being recounted or informed which is the purpose of retelling.

Explanation:

i know this bc i did the test :> :P

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

the major theme of langston hughes’s montages of a dream deferred is the deferred, or delayed, american dream of african americans. the poem is about how african americans failed to achieve their goals in time:

this year, maybe, do you think i can graduate?

i’m already two years late.dropped out six months when i was seven,

a year when i was eleven,

then got put back when we come north.

to get through high high school at twenty's kind of late–

but maybe this year i can graduate.

the poem also depicts how african americans had to keep postponing their needs with a hope that someday they would be able to obtain what they desired:

maybe now i can have that white enamel stove

i dreamed about when we first fell in love

eighteen years ago.

but you know,

rooming and everything

then kids,

cold-water flat and all that.

but now my daughter’s married

and my boy's most grown–

quit school to work

and where we're moving

there ain't no stove–

maybe i can buy that white enamel stove!

however, despite their deferred dreams, the poem shows the refusal of african americans to give up easily and let go of their dreams of a better life. their dreams may have been delayed, but they did not lose hope.
