Explanation:

To determine a good closing for an informative speech, we analyze each option:

• "the statement of the main idea" is typically part of the introduction or body to present the core concept, not the closing.
• "a summary of the presentation" is a key element of a good closing as it recaps the main points, helping the audience retain the information.
• "the use of credible sources" relates to supporting evidence throughout the speech (especially body) to establish credibility, not the closing.
• "a clear and specific purpose" is usually stated in the introduction to inform the audience of the speech's goal, not the closing.

B. a summary of the presentation
