Which sentence from this text should be included in the summary?
 The Carnival is a very old tradition in Venice. It began more than 700 years ago. But its roots can be traced all the way back to the ancient Roman celebration of Saturnalia, which was a religious festival that took place in December. During this holiday, the social order was turned on its head. Slaves feasted with their masters and were allowed to insult and scold them. Outrageous behavior was expected. In one tradition, a master chose a “King of Chaos” from among his slaves. The “King” gave ridiculous orders that everyone had to obey. At the end of the festivities,he was dethroned, marking a return to normal life.
