Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Question 6: A conclusion paragraph typically summarizes the main points. While there is no strict rule, 4 - 5 sentences (option c) is a common and reasonable length to concisely restate key ideas without being too short (like 1 or 2 sentences) or too long (6 or more sentences which might add unnecessary details).
- Question 7: In a conclusion paragraph of a narrative (assuming the example text is a narrative), reflecting on what was learned (option d) is a common strategy. Telling how to solve a Rubik's cube (option a) is more of a how - to or informative strategy. Using details to build suspense (option b) is more for the body of a story. Realizing one is good at solving puzzles (option c) is too narrow compared to the reflective and broader life - lesson type of conclusion described in option d.
- Question 8:
- The turning point (option a) is part of the plot structure (usually in the body of a narrative, not the conclusion).
- A conclusion should not include new evidence (option b) as it is for summarizing, not introducing new information.
- The conclusion is not the same as the introduction (option c) though it may mirror some elements. The conclusion wraps up the essay (option d) by restating the thesis and summarizing key points.
