Question



Which ONE of the following is not a characteristic of a good précis?

A.

Gives the main points, the meaning, and the general impression of the given passage.

B.

Reads like a continuous piece of prose.

C.

Uses extensive vocabulary, digressions, examples, and figurative language.

D.

Is clear, precise, and brief.

Correct option is C

A good précis should not use extensive vocabulary, digressions, examples, and figurative language, as it focuses on summarizing the essence of the passage concisely and objectively. Elaborate or decorative language detracts from the clarity and brevity of the précis.
Information Booster:
1. A précis captures the core ideas of the original passage in a neutral tone.
2. It avoids unnecessary elaboration or embellishments to maintain brevity.
3. It is written in clear, precise language, following a logical flow.
4. A well-written précis does not distort or omit essential points of the passage.
Additional Information:
· (a) Correct; a précis summarizes the main points effectively.
· (b) Correct; it must read smoothly like prose, not a list of disconnected ideas.
· (d) Correct; clarity, precision, and brevity are hallmarks of a good précis.
