Question

How are critical annotations like summaries?

A. They both critique a written text.

B. They both describe the main points of a text.

C. They both paraphrase a text.

D. They both are written by a text's author.

Answer 1

B- They both describe the main points of a text.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. They both describe the main points of a text.

Critical annotations show the main points of the text and present why they are relevant for the research in question. This is similar to summaries because summaries also present the main points in a brief manner. They don't paraphrase but rather shorten it and present only what is key to the text.
