Question

excerpt from gullivers travels by jonathan swift. i heard a confused noise about me, but, in the posture i lay, could see nothing except the sky. in a little time, i felt something alive moving on my left leg, which, advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin, when, bending my eyes downward, as much as i could, i perceived it to be a human creature, not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back. in the meantime i felt at least forty more of the same kind (as i conjectured) following the first. i was in the utmost astonishment, and roared so loud that they all ran back in a fright, and some of them, as i was afterwards told, were hurt with the falls they got by leaping from my sides upon the ground. however, they soon returned, and one of them, who ventured so far as to get a full sight of my face, lifting up his hands and eyes by way of admiration, cried out in a shrill, but distinct voice—hekinah degul! the others repeated the same words several times... but i then knew not what they meant. drag each tile to the correct location on the image. identify which details are most important or less important for an objective summary of the passage. i was in the utmost astonishment, and roared so loud that they all ran back in a fright... i perceived it to be a human creature, not six inches high... but distinct voice—hekinah degul! the others repeated the same words several times... i felt at least forty more of the same kind... one of them, who ventured so far as to get a full sight of my face... most important details less important details

Explanation:

For an objective summary, key details are those that advance the main narrative or describe the main characters and events. Details about the small - sized human - like creatures and their initial interactions with the narrator are crucial. The narrator's reaction to them is also important. Less important are specific words they spoke and some of the more minor actions that don't significantly contribute to the overall understanding of the encounter.
