Answer 1

An effective conclusion should **clarify the theme of the story**. It wraps up the narrative and helps the reader understand the underlying messages or lessons. While leaving some questions or tensions can create a sense of intrigue, a strong conclusion typically provides closure on the main themes and conflicts, rather than leaving them completely unresolved or all characters perfectly happy.
