The purpose of a conclusion to an argument essay is primarily:

• B. To encourage the reader to adopt the writer's point of view

In a well-crafted conclusion, the writer typically summarizes the key points made in the essay, reiterates the strength of the arguments presented, and seeks to persuade the reader to agree with their perspective. This section serves to reinforce the thesis and leave a lasting impression on the reader.
