What is the primary purpose of a conclusion?

  1. Summarize the main points

  2. Introduce a new argument

  3. Reiterate the thesis

  4. Provide a call to action

The correct answer is: Summarize the main points

The primary purpose of a conclusion is to summarize the main points of the argument in a concise and impactful manner. It serves as a way to tie together all of the ideas and information discussed in the body of the text. A conclusion should not introduce new arguments or ideas, as this is the role of the body of the text. Also, while a conclusion may restate the thesis to remind the reader of the main focus, its main purpose is to summarize, not to solely reiterate the thesis. A call to action is often included in a conclusion, but it is not the primary purpose and may not be present in all types of writing. Therefore, the best answer to this question is A.
