B) Write down whatever the main character says.

Answer 1

C) Take notes that identify characters and events.

Summaries are supposed to be brief overviews, it shouldn’t include every little detail otherwise you might as well read the full story instead. If you include key events, it gives the basic idea, which is the purpose of a summary.

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The other options are unrealistic as writing down everything in the story or remembering it is very time consuming. Also writing down only what the main character says won't give a full scope of events that happen in the story.
