Answer 2

ALL OF THE ABOVE

When constructing a summary, one should keep in mind that this is probably the least creative type of writing you’ll ever be asked to do.  What is a summary?  Well, basically a summary is a recanting of the facts, and nothing but the facts.  You would obviously avoid use of first-person pronouns and “loaded” language because that would lend to the inclusion of your personal reactions and judgments.  In a summary, thus, there should never be any analysis taking place on your behalf.  The use of loaded words such as “horrible” or “amazing” are biased when used in summarizing if those words are, naturally, not being quoted from the source.  It would, however, be okay to mention the emotions that Olauday Equiano described because those emotions would be part of how you summarized what you just read, not your opinion on the piece. And, your opinion, definitely, is something that, too, should also be avoided in summaries.
