Question 1 • English Language Arts 10

A student is writing a conclusion for a research-based expository essay on the possibility of exploring and inhabiting Mars. What should he include in his conclusion? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
citations for the research cited in the essay
B
an opinion about the research in the essay
C
a review of evidence used to support the thesis
D
new evidence to support his main thesis
E
a restatement of his main thesis

Explanation

A conclusion should remind readers of the essay’s main point and tie together the support developed in the body. The student should restate the thesis and briefly review the evidence used to support it. New evidence belongs in the body, and citations are typically included where sources are used or in a references list, not added as a conclusion’s main purpose.
