Multiple Choice Question
When writing the conclusion, which of the following should Adam include?
A brief summary of his paper
A new claim
Notes from his brainstorming session
A works cited page
Solution
The answer is A: a brief summary of his paper.
Explanation for each option:
A. A brief summary of his paper - Correct. A conclusion typically includes a brief summary of the main points or arguments presented in the paper. This helps to reinforce the key ideas and provides closure to the discussion.
B. A new claim - Incorrect. Introducing a new claim in the conclusion is not advisable, as the conclusion should focus on summarizing and synthesizing the information already presented, rather than introducing new ideas.
C. Notes from his brainstorming session - Incorrect. Brainstorming notes are part of the planning and drafting process and should not be included in the conclusion. The conclusion should be a polished summary of the paper's content.
D. A works cited page - Incorrect. A works cited page is a separate section of a paper that lists the sources referenced. It is not part of the conclusion, but rather follows the main body of the paper.
