Answer 1

The three characteristics of a well-written conclusion are:

1. Follows from story events and character development - A conclusion should logically stem from the progression of the plot and the growth of characters throughout the story.

2. Conveys the significance of events through reflection - A good conclusion often reflects on the events of the story, helping readers understand the deeper meaning or implications of what has transpired.

3. Resolves the central conflict - A conclusion should address and resolve the primary conflict of the story, providing a sense of closure for the readers.

The other options, such as granting the protagonist a positive ending, displaying a clear lesson or moral, and surprising the audience, can enhance a conclusion but are not essential characteristics.
