Answer 1

The best statement that describes a good conclusion is:

A good conclusion refers to the major themes of the piece.

While interesting facts and ending with a question can be effective in some contexts, the primary purpose of a conclusion is to summarize and reinforce the main points or themes discussed in the piece. Restating the introduction is not typically recommended, as it does not provide new insights.
