Question

read the conclusion.

thank you for your attention. as i have mentioned many times, i believe ms. sanchez deserves to be our schools teacher of the year for 2013. her dedication to the tutoring program, her accessibility, and her professionalism set her apart. we have a staff full of devoted academics, but ms. sanchez is the best of the best.

how can the writer best strengthen the conclusion?

by summarizing key points
by restating the claim
by telling a related joke
by issuing a call to action

Analyze the existing conclusion

The provided text already restates the main claim ("I believe Ms. Sanchez deserves to be our school's Teacher of the Year for 2013") and summarizes the key supporting points ("Her dedication to the tutoring program, her accessibility, and her professionalism set her apart").

Evaluate the options

• "by summarizing key points": Already done in the text.
• "by restating the claim": Already done in the text.
• "by telling a related joke": Too informal and does not strengthen a persuasive argument.
• "by issuing a call to action": Missing from the current draft. A call to action (e.g., urging the audience to vote or submit nominations for Ms. Sanchez) is the best way to strengthen this persuasive conclusion.
