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.

They are not paraphrases and they don't have to be written by the same author. They don't critique since critiquing implies that a personal opinion on the text is provided. They just provide the key points that show without embellishing what the text is about. This is done in a brief manner so both annotations and summaries are short.
