Best Fit Summary Answer Key

Students read short passages and choose the one-sentence summary that best captures the main idea. Each item includes four summary options, requiring learners to evaluate wording, accuracy, and essential information. This activity strengthens summarizing skills by training students to ignore minor details and focus on key concepts. It also supports comprehension by prompting readers to distinguish between correct interpretations and misleading alternatives. Because choices are brief, students must think critically about nuance. This worksheet provides strong practice for standardized reading tasks that require identifying the best summary.
