Question

1. typically, what should the concluding paragraph of your essay do?

provide more supporting evidence
repeat your claim statement word for word
restate and expand on your claim
tug on the reader’s heartstrings with emotional language

Explanation:

• "Provide more supporting evidence" is done in body paragraphs, not the conclusion.
• "Repeat your claim statement word for word" is incorrect as conclusions should rephrase, not copy the claim.
• "Restate and expand on your claim" is correct because a conclusion restates the main claim and may add a broader perspective or implications.
• "Tug on the reader’s heartstrings with emotional language" is not a typical or necessary function of an essay conclusion (unless the essay is persuasive in a very specific emotional appeal, but generally, conclusions focus on summarizing and reinforcing the argument).

Answer:

C. restate and expand on your claim
