Question

1. “i’d like to leave you today with the wise words of my roommate, eddie, ‘a smoking section in a restaurant is like a peeing section in a pool. and nobody wants to swim in that pool.’ thank you.” this is an example of which part of a conclusion?

○ a. reinforce purpose
○ b. move the audience
○ c. review main points
○ d. provide closure

Explanation:

The speaker uses a vivid analogy (smoking section - peeing section) to reinforce the purpose (likely against smoking sections) in the conclusion. Moving the audience would involve calls to action. Reviewing main points would summarize content. Providing closure is more about ending smoothly. Here, the analogy strengthens the argument's purpose.

Answer:

a. reinforce purpose
