Writing an Argumentative Essay about Volunteering

Question 7 • Common Core ELA 8 - ELA3008 B-IC

An argumentative essay ends with the following conclusion.In conclusion, I don't like to shop at malls.

Answer

I hope the city council will vote against building a new shopping mall, because my home is just a block away from the site.

Midtown Shopping Mall was built just three miles from the proposed site. Do we really need another retail outlet so close?

The proposed shopping mall is an unnecessary addition to our community and will result in increased noise and traffic.

A recent survey of community members found that the majority of residents are opposed to a new shopping mall.

Explanation

A conclusion should restate the essay’s main argument rather than give only a personal preference. Choice C argues that the proposed mall is unnecessary and would increase noise and traffic, which gives a clear, community-focused position. Choice A focuses on the writer’s personal location, while B and D offer supporting details rather than a concluding claim.
