: summarise key ideas from answer: Plan the audience, purpose, form, tone and viewpoint before choosing vocabulary and structure for : summarise key ideas from.

Explanation

: summarise key ideas from uses Plan the audience, purpose, form, tone and viewpoint before choosing vocabulary and structure for : summarise key ideas from because it matches the writing for audience and purpose focus for Summarising differences and similarities.
