What does a closing statement do in a concluding section?

Question

A. restates the thesis
B provides closure
C. Gives readers on last thought to take away
D. Explains the entire text in one sentence.
I would say A and C

Answer 1

You are correct that a closing statement can serve multiple purposes, including both restating the thesis (A) and providing readers with one last thought to take away (C). However, it generally does not explain the entire text in one sentence (D), nor is its primary function just to provide closure (B).

Thus, the best answers in this context would be A and C. Many effective closing statements incorporate elements of restating the thesis and leaving the reader with a final thought.
