Correct answer: restate main ideas and summarize how they support the claim.
Explanation:
- A conclusion should synthesize the essay’s main points and show how they back up the thesis.
- You should not introduce new details, facts, examples, or statistics in the conclusion.
- Presenting counterarguments and rebuttals belongs in the body where you develop and refute them, not in the conclusion.
- A “hook” to capture attention belongs in the introduction (though a brief closing clincher to leave a memorable impression is acceptable, it’s not the same as the intro’s hook).
