Explanation:

A summary is a condensed restatement of a text's core content, so it needs to capture the central message and critical supporting details, along with the text's basic structural flow. It should not include direct, unmodified quotes (as it requires paraphrasing) or personal opinions about the text's validity.

• the main idea and key details of the text

A summary should not include...
