A good story ending typically includes the following elements:
- **the conflict’s resolution**: This is essential as it ties up the central conflict of the story, providing closure and satisfaction to the reader.
- **an idea about life**: Effective endings often convey a deeper message or theme, allowing the reader to reflect on the story's meaning or moral.
While a surprising or funny detail and new characters can add interest, they are not necessarily essential components of a strong ending. So, the best choices are:
- the conflict’s resolution
- an idea about life
