The three characteristics of a well-written conclusion are:

  1. Conveys the significance of events through reflection - A strong conclusion often reflects on the events of the story and highlights their importance.

  2. Resolves the central conflict - A well-crafted conclusion typically resolves the primary conflict of the narrative, providing closure to the story.

  3. Follows from story events and character development - A good conclusion is consistent with the events that have transpired and the growth or changes that the characters have undergone throughout the story.

The other options, while they may contribute to a conclusion, are not essential characteristics of a well-crafted conclusion.
