Question

dear ms. richardson:
ms. knox, the current cheerleading coach, will soon be retiring from her position, so the cheerleading squad will need a new coach next year. as the cheerleading squad captain, i would like to ask you to consider taking the position. during your time at our school, you have made students activities a priority, and you have proven that you have great school spirit. because of these qualifications, the members of the cheerleading squad believe you would make an excellent coach.
sincerely,
keisha moore
l.n 1.2.3 - keisha wants her teacher to consider becoming the cheerleading squad coach. read this draft of her letter. which of these sentences is the best conclusion for this letter?
o a the cheerleading squad gets to travel to many places, so you will have a good time
o b the squad does not know who else to ask, so please take the position
o c you will not have to do that much work because we already know all the cheers
o d we hope that you consider taking the position, as you are a great candidate

Explanation:

• Option a focuses on travel and having a good time, which is not relevant to the main purpose of persuading based on qualifications.
• Option b makes it seem like a last - resort rather than highlighting the teacher's suitability.
• Option c downplays the role, which is not appropriate when trying to convince someone to take a position.
• Option d restates the request (consider taking the position) and reinforces the teacher's suitability (great candidate), which is a proper conclusion for a letter of persuasion.

Answer:

d. We hope that you consider taking the position, as you are a great candidate
