Question: Read the excerpt from Hidden Figures. She had asked plenty of questions when the scope of her work had extended only from the nose cone of a tiny Cessna 405 to its tail fin. Now there was so much more to ask, so much more to understand, and because it was all new, she felt like she was right there on the learning curve with the engineers. Read Abe’s summary of the excerpt. When the scope of Katherine Goble’s work grew, she realized she had more to learn, but, because the concepts were new even to the engineers, she felt like she was finally one of them. Which summarizing mistake does Abe make? He includes unimportant details. He misrepresents the author’s ideas. He paraphrases instead of summarizing. He does not include the main idea.
Abe misrepresents the author’s ideas. In the original excerpt, it is clear that Katherine Goble recognizes there is more to understand because the scope of her work has expanded, putting her on a learning curve along with the engineers. However, Abe's summary implies that the concepts were new to the engineers as well, which is not necessarily stated in the excerpt. This changes the author's original intent and meaning, thus misrepresenting the ideas.
