Question

1. which is the best statement to include in the conclusion of your compare - and - contrast essay about email and the telephone?

a. for business use in which a record of the communication is essential, email wins, but for friendly communication, you still cannot beat the telephone.
b. the choice is up to you; send an email, or dial a number.
c. i only check my email every couple of days, so if you want to reach me, give me a call, because i will answer and be ready to talk right away.

Explanation:

A strong compare-and-contrast essay conclusion should synthesize the key findings of the comparison, summarizing the core strengths/uses of each subject. Option A ties together the distinct practical purposes of email (business with communication records) and telephone (friendly communication), which aligns with the goal of a compare-and-contrast conclusion. Option B is too vague and does not reflect the essay's comparative analysis. Option C is a personal preference, not a general synthesis suitable for an essay conclusion.

Answer:

A. For business use in which a record of the communication is essential, email wins, but for friendly communication, you still cannot beat the telephone.
