Writing Strong Paragraphs

Question 11 • EA Academy Online Learning and Digital Citizenship Elective Spring

In an autobiography for English class, Marissa wants to include a paragraph on things that frighten her. Which would be the best concluding sentence for this paragraph?

Answer
A
What creates the fear is the surprise of the loud sound.
B
When balloons are popped, they make a very loud noise.
C
To this day, loud noises and unexpected surprises can paralyze me with fear.
D
When I was little, my cousin snuck up and popped a balloon next to my ear.

Explanation

A concluding sentence should bring the paragraph’s ideas together and show what the writer feels now. “To this day, loud noises and unexpected surprises can paralyze me with fear” connects the frightening experiences to Marissa’s present feelings. The other choices give a specific detail or explanation rather than concluding the paragraph.
