Which sentence best summarizes the whole passage?

  3. The notes showed that the map had never been damaged.
  4. The map had a tear.
See the answer & why

Museum workers repaired a map carefully and documented their changes.

The main account includes both careful repair and documentation; one damage detail is insufficient.

A little hint: Keep the main idea and its important connections; leave out invented facts and avoid choosing just one small detail.
