A summary is a concise and condensed version of a longer text, providing the main points and key details in a shorter format. Therefore, the correct answer is that it is shorter than the text.

To determine this, you can compare the length of the summary to the length of the original text. Typically, a summary will be much shorter and more concise, condensing the main ideas and omitting unnecessary details. The purpose of a summary is to give a brief overview of the main points, allowing readers to understand the key information without reading the entire text.
