Correct answers:
- follows from story events and character development
- resolves the central conflict
- conveys the significance of events through reflection

Explanation: A strong conclusion should feel earned by the plot and characters, settle the main tension (or address it meaningfully), and show what the events mean for characters/themes. It doesn't have to be a happy ending, explicitly moralizing, or rely on a shocking twist.
