Answer 1

Answer:  The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

This is about the speaker does.

     The main ideas are stated. These are what you need to do to groom your dog: gather materials, how to clean the dog step by step and what to do after grooming your pet. In the conclusion, he summarizes them: " Grooming your dog is pretty simple. Simply gather all the materials you need, then brush out the excess or matted hair, clean the ears, wash/dry Fido then clip his nails. After the grooming is the most important step so don't forget to praise and pet your dog!"

 The speaker restates the thesis (main idea of the writing), that is, saving money and bonding with your dog by groomig it yourself. This main idea appears when he says: "Although grooming your own dog may take a bit more time than just leaving him at the groomer's, doing it yourself is a great way to save money."

   He also refers back to the introduction when he mentions the idea of saving money. In the introduction, he asks: "Looking for ways to save money?". In the conclusion he says again: "Imagine how much money you can save in a year!"

What he doesn't do is thanking the audience. He could have done that by addressing the audience in just one sentence, like "Thanks for watching."

Answer 2

The author does not thank the audience in the conclusion. The thesis is restated "doing it yourself is a great way to save money and for the two of you to connect more deeply." These are also the main ideas. He also refers back to the introduction "What could be better than that? Imagine how much money you can save in a year?".
