Read the excerpt from the hot zone and the summary that follows it.

half of this biocontainment operation was going to be news containment. c. j. peters's comments to the washington post were designed to create an impression that the situation was under control, safe, and not all that interesting. c. j. was understating the gravity of the situation. but he could be very smooth when he wanted, and he used his friendliest voice with the reporters, assuring them over the telephone that there really was no problem, just kind of a routine technical situation. somehow the reporters concluded that the sick monkeys had been "destroyed as a precaution" when in fact the nightmare, and the reason for troops, was that the animals hadn't been destroyed.
summary of central idea: it was very important to keep the truth about this operation from the news.

what best describes this summary of the central idea?

a it is a strong summary because it is subjective and provides the writer’s opinion about the paragraph’s central idea.

b it is a strong summary because it is objective and accurately expresses the paragraph’s central idea.

c it is a weak summary because it is subjective and does not provide the writer’s opinion about the paragraph’s central idea.

Read the excerpt from cristina garcia’s dreaming in cuban.i don’t really want to talk about my father but i end up telling minnie how he used to take me horseback riding on our ranch, strapping me in his saddle with a leather seat belt he designed just for me. dad’s family owned casinos in cuba, and had one of the largest ranches on the island. there were beef cattle and dairy cows, horses, pigs, goats, and lambs. dad fed them molasses to fatten them, and gave the chickens corn and sorghum until they laid vermilion eggs, rich with vitamins. he took me on an overnight inspection once. we camped out under a sapodilla tree and listened to the pygmy owls with their old women’s voices. my father knew i understood more than i could say. he told me stories about cuba after columbus came. he said that the spaniards wiped out more indians with smallpox than with muskets.how does the structure of the excerpt add meaning to the passage? it includes historical information about the spaniards and indians to indicate the work is nonfiction.it describes the setting of the ranch owned by pilar’s cuban grandparents to explain family values.it uses several narrators to share their points of view about past and present life in cuba.it manipulates the chronological order of events to reveal the close relationship between pilar and her father.
