The two correct answers for characteristics of a strong concluding statement are:
-
Refers back to key words, metaphors, questions, or ideas from the introduction - This helps to create a sense of cohesion and reinforces the main themes of the work.
-
Restates the thesis statement verbatim - This emphasizes the main argument and reminds the reader of the central point made in the writing.
The other options are generally not ideal for a strong concluding statement.
