In summary writing (Perilipsi), which practice is strictly prohibited by Panhellenic assessment standards?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Personal commentary
- Step 1: Panhellenic examination guidelines require text summaries to be objective, condensed, and faithful to the source. Inserting subjective judgments, personal commentary, or evaluative remarks leads directly to grade penalties. Answer: Personal commentary. Why not the others: "Paraphrasing main points" is an essential requirement to avoid verbatim copying from the source text; "Condensing examples" is standard practice to eliminate illustrative details and retain core arguments; "Preserving logical flow" is required to maintain the original author's structural progression of thought.
