The source provides very little information about her career. It says she is "Known For Acting" and has "30 Known Credits."
It does not list any specific movie titles, TV shows, roles, awards, or specific dates of her acting career.
It provides biographical data: Born August 21, 1930, in Glamis, Tayside, Scotland, UK. Died February 9, 2002, at age 71. Also known as Pri.
Drafting Paragraph 1: Princess Margaret was an individual known for her work in acting. She was born on August 21, 1930, in Glamis, Tayside, Scotland, UK. Throughout her career, she is credited with 30 known credits. She was also known by the name Pri.
Drafting Paragraph 2: Her life spanned 71 years. She passed away on February 9, 2002.
Problem: The source is extremely sparse. I need to reach 180-260 words using only these facts. If I just repeat the facts, I will be far below the word count.
Constraint Check: "Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details."
Conflict: The user wants 180-260 words, but the source only provides about 40 words of actual information.
Strategy: I must expand the prose using neutral, encyclopedic language without adding new facts. I can elaborate on the biographical details provided (birthplace, date, credits count) in a formal way, but I cannot invent details to fill the word count.
Wait: If I cannot invent details, and the source is short, I cannot meet the word count requirement without violating the "ONLY verifiable facts" rule.
Let's re-examine the source:
