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 makes the mistake of misrepresenting the author’s ideas. The original excerpt suggests that Katherine Goble found herself on the learning curve alongside the engineers, implying that both her and the engineers were learning, rather than her feeling she was finally one of them. Abe's summary changes the nuance of the original passage.
