Question

Which statement would be an effective conclusion for the evaluation of an article on the potential threat of technology?

Finally, Wilson’s article argues that technology is detrimental to learning because fewer students are reading for pleasure.
I agree with Wilson’s argument. When I stopped watching videos on my phone, my grades went up, so technology must make it more difficult to learn.
Wilson’s article states that computers, tablets, and smartphones should not be allowed in the classroom because these devices distract students.
Therefore, Wilson's argument that technology makes it more difficult for students to concentrate is thoroughly researched and provides ample supporting evidence.

Answer 1

The third (final) statement is the most effective conclusion: "Therefore, Wilson's argument that technology makes it more difficult for students to concentrate is thoroughly researched and provides ample supporting evidence."

Why: it draws a clear evaluative judgment, uses concluding language, and refers to the quality of the article’s evidence. The other two merely summarize the article or offer an anecdotal, unsupported personal claim, which are weak as conclusions.

(Optional tweak) If you haven’t demonstrated the article is truly "thoroughly researched," soften to "well supported by the evidence presented."
