An effective conclusion should clarify the theme of the story. This allows the reader to understand the main message or lesson of the narrative. The other options, such as leaving conflicts unresolved or showing all characters happy, are typically less effective in providing a satisfying conclusion. Additionally, while leaving the reader questioning can be effective in certain contexts, it is not a fundamental characteristic of all effective conclusions.
