The correct answer is D. The response should include a summary of the main points in its conclusion. Conclusions are intended to close ideas, and to provide a summary of what was stated in the essay, in this case the response. On the other hand, introductions are supposed to include a lead and a summary of the piece of literature. Since the literary essay is intended to analyze the literary piece, a retelling of the story is neither necessary nor appropiate. Thus, a conclusion can only include a summary of the main points
