One of the dependencies that, when found in the summary but not in the article, indicates a possible error is the *"amod"* (adjectival modifier) dependency.
Applied to this summary, we have *"Democratic"* as the entity, and it is the adjectival modifier of the word *"member"*.
And indeed, this unmatched dependency indicates an actual error here. The sentence is not factual for two reasons. <br> <br>
First, the article talks about *"democrats"* and *"members of the committee"*, which are two separate things. The summary combines those two in a way
that can be seen as not completely factual. Second, the statement itself was not made by a democrat (nor a member of the committee), and even though the dependency can't be
directly linked to this error, empirical results showed that unmatched *amod* dependencies often suggest
that the summary sentence is incorrect.
