What are the key words in the text below that could be useful in a summary? Wolverines are medium sized mammals. They weigh no more than 50 lbs. Yet they have earned their reputation for ferocity by killing prey many times their size. But why do they get in so many fights? The reason why wolverines have so many conflicts with other animals (including wolves, cougars, and even bears) is probably because of the wolverine's preferred hunting style. Rather than chasing down or tricking its prey like most hunters, the wolverine prefers to take its meals directly from other hunters. So while a polar bear or a lone wolf might be enjoying a hard earned carcass, a hungry wolverine may try to take his lunch. As you might imagine, this style of hunting get the wolverine in plenty of fights. Original source Consider the following questions to help you identify the key words: What are wolverines?

To determine the best set of keywords for a summary, I’ll evaluate each option against the passage’s core ideas.
Option 1: 'Wolverines, wolves, cougars, bears, chase, enjoy' This choice mixes several animals mentioned in the text but emphasizes words like 'chase' and 'enjoy' that are not central to the wolverine’s summary. It also omits the main descriptors of size, ferocity, and the wolverine’s hunting behavior that drive the conflicts, so it’s only partly relevant and not the most representative.
Option 2: 'Many conflicts with other animals, hunting style, take meals' This option captures the notion of conflicts and the hunting style, and adds 'take meals' which aligns with the idea of stealing meals. However, it leaves out explicit size and ferocity and could be seen as a partial summary rather than a concise capture of the strongest keywords the passage highlights.
Option 3: 'Kill big preys, chase, trick' Here the words 'chase' and 'trick' are referenced in the text, but 'kill big preys' and especially 'trick' are not accurate focal points of the discussion about wolverine behavior. The phrase overemphasizes certain actions and misrepresents the emphasis of the passage.
Option 4: '50 pounds, ferocious, many fights, hunting style, steal meals' This set directly mirrors the passage’s emphasis: size ('50 pounds'), reputation for ferocity ('ferocious'), frequent fights ('many fights'), the distinctive hunting style ('hunting style'), and the behavior of taking meals from others ('steal meals'). These keywords collectively concisely summarize the reasons for conflicts and the wolverine’s behavior as described in the text.
In summary, the best choice is the one that best captures the central features the author uses to frame a summary: size, ferocity, prevalence of fights, the unique hunting approach, and the behavior of stealing meals. The remaining options either drop key elements or include less pertinent terms, making them less suitable as the core keywords for a summary.
