Explanation:

A story summary should include key, plot-driving details that establish the core conflict or setup. The first detail establishes the central change in the usual routine, which is the inciting element of the story. The second detail shows the next major plot action where the characters act on their concern about Aaron, moving the story forward. The other two details are minor, specific moments that do not capture the core of the story's setup and progression.

Answer:

• Aaron stops playing ball with Carlton and Jace.
• Carlton persuades Jace to follow Aaron to find out where he goes.
