What problem can occur if the writer adds a personal opinion while writing a summary?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The meaning of the original text may change
A summary should condense the original author’s main ideas objectively. Adding the summariser’s personal judgement may introduce claims or attitudes that are not in the source, so readers may receive a changed or biased meaning. Selection and shortening are necessary, but personal evaluation should normally be kept separate.
