writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
conclusion
B
final conclusion
C
final outcome
D
concluding end
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. A "conclusion" is the end or finish of an event or process.
Choice B is incorrect because "final" is redundant; a conclusion is inherently final. Choice C is incorrect because "final outcome" is synonymous with "conclusion." Choice D is incorrect because "end" is the definition of a conclusion.
