What does summarization help readers focus on?

Minor details of the text
The main idea of the information being read
Every single character's background
The length of the text

The correct answer is: The main idea of the information being read

Summarization helps readers focus on the main idea of the information being read by extracting and condensing key points while discarding unnecessary details and minor points. When summarizing, readers are guided to identify the essential aspects of the text, allowing them to grasp the overarching message or theme without getting bogged down by less significant elements. This skill is critical for effective comprehension, as it enables individuals to synthesize information, making it easier to retain and apply the knowledge gained from the material.
