See explanations below for answers to each question.

Explanation:

Question 1)

The benefits of summarizing a text are D. Summarizing can help improve your comprehension.  This means that providing a summary of the text can help you better understand what you are reading, which is a true statement.  A summary should describe the central ideas of the passage (so choice A is incorrect), but should be concise (so choice C is incorrect).  A summary also should not include your personal opinions, so choice B is also incorrect.

Question 2)

A summary should include C. the central ideas.  A summary should describe the main ideas of a text and include the main points that the author of the passage is trying to convey.  A summary should not include the reader's conclusions since it should focus on the ideas in the passage itself (choice A is incorrect).  Although an interesting metaphor or names of other texts may be a good idea to read or learn about, they should also not be included in a summary; therefore, choice C is the only correct option.

Question 3)

The correct choice is option C.  A book review may include the opinions of the person writing the review, while a summary should not include opinions.  A book review, by nature, is the author's opinion on whether or not the book is good, which will vary from author to author.  A summary, as a general rule, should contain the main ideas of the text.  Summaries should stay consistent from person to person, since they are recapping the main points of a passage and include no personal opinions.

Question 4)

The best definition of a summary is D. a brief, objective statement of the central ideas of a text.  As stated above, a summary should just describe the main ideas of a text and should include no opinions, either from the reader or outside sources.
