Answer 2

Answer: The statement that best describes the conclusion of an argumentative essay is C) It ties the essay together and tells readers what they have learned and should take away.

Explanation: A strong conclusion of an argumentative essay must restate the thesis statement that was included in the introductory paragraph and summarize in a brief way what the body paragraphs of the essay have presented and the readers should remember. Conclusions are important because they are the ones that influence the readers' impression of the essay. In that way, options A) and B) are incorrect because they make reference to the introduction and D) is also incorrect because evidence and counterclaims shpuld be included in the body paragraphs.
