Explanation:

• Objective summary provides central idea and the supporting ideas that aids to understand the central idea.
• This does not comprise references from other texts.
• This does not comprise our own opinion and does not include personal experience.
• This is not written as essays.
• The objective summary remains impartial of the central idea.
