Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure. In general, a summary is expected to be a brief restatement of the main ideas of a text in your own words, and it should not typically include direct quotes. Including direct quotes would deviate from the purpose of a summary, which is to condense the original text and convey its essence. Therefore, the statement "A summary should include direct quotes" is false.
