The question above wants to assess your ability to summarize a text efficiently and coherently. For that reason, I can't write the summary for you, but I'll show you how to write it.

Based on this, you can write your summary as follows:
Read the entire text "The Worms of the Earth Against the lions."Reread the text and identify the most important information, which is shown in the main sentences of the text.Highlight these sentences and rewrite them, modifying the words used by the author, but keeping the meaning, so as not to commit plagiarism.More information:
