Question

What purpose does the conclusion of an argument serve

A. To make the audience angry enough to get them to disagree with the argument.

B. To leave the audience with questions that they have to find answers to on their own

C. To make a final bid for support by restating the central point of the argument

D. To quiz the audience on facts and information introduced in the argument

Answer 1

I think it's C because A,B don't really give the audience anything to think about. To win an argument, you want to get your point across.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. To make a final bid for support by restating the central point of the argument

Step-by-step explanation:

An argument refers to one or more reasons or evidence such as facts, statistics, examples or experts' words provided in order to support a position or point. Because of this, arguments are usually composed of the main claim or position the author or speaker wants to defend and prove, the evidence the author provides to defend the position and a final statement that serves a conclusion. In the case of the conclusion, the main purpose of it is to summarize the reasons or evidence provide, restate the main point or position and in this way make a final attempt to persuade the audience or bid them believe and support the author. Therefore, the purpose of the conclusion of an argument is to "make a final bid for support by restating the central point of the argument".
