Question

Read the conclusion to a personal statement. In conclusion, my trips to the seashore have awakened an interest in marine biology. I am ready to move forward with my dream of becoming a marine biologist. What is the best way to improve the conclusion? Add a sentence to the ending that summarizes the writer’s topic. Add a sentence to the middle that reflects on the writer’s experiences. Revise the final sentence to have a different tone. Revise the first sentence to state a future goal.

Answer 1

Answer: I'm thinking the correct answer is "Add a sentence to the middle that reflects on the writer's experience."

Explanation: The first part of the statement says that trips to the seashore have awakened the author's interest in marine biology. But the author doesn't state why those visits reawakened him, or what it was that happened there that reawakened him. Thus, a sentence explaining what those experiences were, then leads to the conclusion of "I am ready to move forward..."
