Question

Why does the summary need to be revised?

The summary incorrectly restates the myth.
The summary includes too many minor details.
The summary lacks transitions that connect ideas.
The summary is missing important words and phrases.

Answer 1

All of the above. Each item is a valid reason to revise a summary:

- If it incorrectly restates the myth, it’s inaccurate and misleading — correct the errors and stick to the original meaning.
- If it includes too many minor details, it’s not concise — remove trivial points and focus on main ideas.
- If it lacks transitions, it will read choppy and the connections between ideas are unclear — add linking words or short phrases to improve flow.
- If it’s missing important words and phrases, it may omit key information — restore essential terms so the summary fully represents the source.

Revision steps: check accuracy first, pare away minor details, add brief transitions for coherence, and ensure all main points and key terms are present.
