A summary typically has fewer main points than the text it summarizes and is shorter than the text. Therefore, the correct comparisons are:

  • It has fewer main points than the text.
  • It is shorter than the text.

A summary condenses the original content, focusing on the key ideas and main arguments while omitting extraneous details. It is not longer than the text or more detailed.
