Correct answers (characteristics of an objective summary):

- It withholds any personal judgments or opinions.
- It features facts about a text’s main characters, setting, and plot.

Why the others are incorrect:
- Direct quotations: not necessary and often avoided — summaries typically paraphrase.
- Analysis of theme: that's interpretation, not an objective summary.
- Details about minor characters: summaries focus on main/major elements, not minor details.
