Question

Which of the following is a characteristic of a good conclusion of a paragraph?

• A. Summarizing the points stated in the paragraph
• B. Using linking words that indicate conclusions being drawn
• C. Repeating words or phrases from the topic sentence
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The correct answer is Option D.

A good conclusion is an essential of a well written paragraph.

It is not merely the last line of the paragraph. It summarizes the points stated in the paragraph. Linking words like hence, therefore etc are used to link the ideas to the conclusion. Repeating words from the topic sentence in a conclusion helps to remind the reader the directing and controlling force of the paragraph.

Hence 'All of the above' - Option D is the correct answer.
