Answer 1

Answer:

        "Defination of a Book"

A book is a written thing. It is printed not only for mere communication but to preserve it. The authors express which they perceive to be true and helpful in some ways to its readers. Throughout their lives,  they are bound to be articulate  in their works which is a piece of true knowledge or clarity where they can be satisfied with whatever degree of true inspiration they had produced their work and they can  confidently term it as 'a book for all time'

Answer 2

Precis writing is the activity of compressing the passage and giving all the essential points to understand the gist of the passage.

What is a Book

• A book is basically not a spoken thing, but a written item. It is written for sake of permanence, not just communication.
• Only because its creator is unable to speak to many people at once has the book of conversation been written; if he could, he would. His voice is multiplied by the volume.
• When one is unable to communicate with a friend who lives thousands of miles away, they write to them which is just a way of expressing themselves, similar to the case of an author who writes a book.
