Explanation:

Question 11

To close a paper effectively, the conclusion should relate to the main topic (identity) and wrap it up. Option a emphasizes identity's role and considering others, which is a strong closing. Option b is about development process, not closing. Option c is about experiences and identity understanding, but less conclusive. Option d is about self - belief, not directly about identity as the main topic. So option a is the best for a conclusion.

Option a says "only way" which is too extreme. Option b is about exploring feelings, but the last paragraph (assuming about identity) is more likely to illustrate beliefs and impacts. Option c matches as it's about illustrating writer's beliefs on identity and its impacts. Option d is about a personal example, but the question is about the purpose of the last paragraph, and illustrating beliefs and impacts is more general than a personal example.

Answer:

a. Identity makes us who we are both inside and out; we should take others’ opinions into consideration
