"to make a long story short" means-

  • A.paraphrase
  • B.come to the point
  • C.display composition skills
  • D.have narrative excellence

Answer: B

The idiom means to come to the point.

'To make a long story short' is said when a speaker skips the details and gives the essential conclusion, that is, comes to the point.

It does not mean to paraphrase (restate in other words), and it is the opposite of displaying composition skills or narrative excellence, which would lengthen the story.
