Word Count Check:

Para 2: ~65 words.
Total: ~120 words.
Problem: The requirement is 180-260 words. I need to expand using only the provided facts without inventing anything.
Expansion Strategy:
I must be careful. I cannot invent facts. I can only rephrase or combine the existing facts more descriptively while remaining neutral.
Wait, the source material is quite sparse. If I strictly follow "Use ONLY facts present above," and the word count is 180-260, I might struggle if the source doesn't have enough content. Let's re-read the source.
