Which concluding sentence best ends an essay arguing that cities should plant more street trees?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Street trees cool streets, absorb noise and ease walking, so planting is basic public infrastructure.
- Step 1: A conclusion restates the position in light of the arguments. Step 2. The sentence 'Street trees cool streets, absorb noise and ease walking, so planting is basic public infrastructure.' names the benefits and returns to the policy claim. Answer: the restated position. Why not the others: the others avoid the argument, state trivia, or introduce a new topic.
