Thesis statement:
Soccer interest is on the rise, and that is why our school
should focus more on building our soccer programs.
Conclusion paragraph:
So our school has a great opportunity to respond to the
growing soccer craze by building our soccer program. Our
school's soccer fields are currently in miserable condition,
but a few Saturdays of volunteer help will change that
quickly. In addition, investing money in new uniforms will
increase student enthusiasm for the sport. Lastly, by
enlisting businesses to donate money to the program, we
can create a positive soccer environment that will attract
many more players. These improvements will not only
increase soccer participation, but they'll also encourage
more students to live an active lifestyle overall - so in the
end, we'll have not only better soccer facilities but healthier
and happier students as well.
Which statement best explains the effectiveness of this conclusion
paragraph?

Answer: The answer is B

Explanation:

The final paragraph of a piece of writing is the conclusion, which typically restates the thesis statement or expresses the author's view on the subject. The correct option is B.

A conclusion is a verdict or choice regarding a person, place, or thing. It is attained by using critical thinking and studying the available information. In order to better understand the story, readers make inferences as they read.

Reiterating the speech's thesis, summarising the key ideas covered in the speech, and using a finishing technique that helps viewers form a lasting impression are the three fundamental components of a good conclusion.

Thus the correct option is B.

SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

In the novel "The Crossover", Ode to My Hair"

If my hair were a tree
I’d climb it.
I’d kneel down beneath
and enshrine it.
I’d treat it like gold
and then mine it.
Each day before school
I unwind it.
And right before games
I entwine it.
These locks on my head,
I designed it.
And one last thing if
you don’t mind it:
That bet you just made?
I DECLINE IT.

In Great Astronomers, Robert Stawell Ball documents the developments in astronomy from the ancient period to the nineteenth century. He begins with a chapter on the life and works of Ptolemy.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Great Astronomers shows that Ptolemy’s theory was flawed, but that he was still the undisputed authority on astronomy for centuries?

The career of the famous man whose name stands at the head of this chapter is one of the most remarkable in the history of human learning. There may have been other discoverers who have done more for science than ever Ptolemy accomplished, but there never has been any other discoverer whose authority on the subject of the movements of the heavenly bodies has held sway over the minds of men for so long a period as the fourteen centuries during which his opinions reigned supreme. The doctrines he laid down in his famous book, "The Almagest," prevailed throughout those ages. No substantial addition was made in all that time to the undoubted truths which this work contained. No important correction was made of the serious errors with which Ptolemy's theories were contaminated. The authority of Ptolemy as to all things in the heavens, and as to a good many things on the earth (for the same illustrious man was also a diligent geographer), was invariably final.

Though every child may now know more of the actual truths of the celestial motions than ever Ptolemy knew, yet the fact that his work exercised such an astonishing effect on the human intellect for some sixty generations, shows that it must have been an extraordinary production. We must look into the career of this wonderful man to discover wherein lay the secret of that marvellous success which made him the unchallenged instructor of the human race for such a protracted period.

Now Lana steered the little boat toward the dock by the hut where Martin lived with his two little brothers. When she saw Martin wasn’t waiting out in front, she heaved out a sigh, yelling, “C’mon, Martin! We need to go—now!”

“All right, all right.” Martin appeared, lugging an empty box. “Listen, I had a thought. You know how I’ve been talking about how these fuel runs are a dead end?”

“You’re backing out on us now?” said Jessie.

“No, no—but while we’re inland, I want to scavenge for a few other things.” Smiling, Martin jumped into the boat. “I have a plan.”
