A. Restate the reasons, closing sentence, takeaway endingExplanation
The correct answer is "Restate the reasons, closing sentence, takeaway ending." In an expository paper, the concluding paragraph should summarize the main reasons or arguments presented in the body of the paper. By restating the reasons, the writer reinforces the key points made throughout the paper. The closing sentence provides a sense of closure to the reader and signals the end of the paper. The takeaway ending allows the writer to leave the reader with a final thought or reflection on the topic discussed.Rate this question:
