Imagine an essay built around this thesis:

cholesterol, in moderate amounts, is useful to the body, but in large amounts, it becomes harmful to the body, causing heart disease.

which of the following thesis restatements would be most appropriate to start the conclusion paragraph?

a. the side effects attributed to statin medications include muscle pain, liver damage, and digestive problems.
b. a number of medications, called statins, to control cholesterol by lowering the level in the blood so that it does not attach to the artery walls.
c. saturated fats found in foods of animal origin raise cholesterol levels, so the fewer of these foods you eat, the less likely your chance of having a heart attack.
d. cholesterol is a fat-like substance derived mainly from animal fats that attaches itself to the walls of arteries, causing heart disease.

The correct answer is C. Saturated fats found in foods of animal origin raise cholesterol levels, so the fewer of these foods you eat, the less likely your chance of having a heart attack.

Explanation:

In an essay, the conclusion paragraph is the closure of the essay that provides a summary of the main points developed and restates the thesis statement, which means the main points of the thesis statement are mentioned by using different words, usually by using more specific language. This means an effective restatement of the thesis should cover the main points of it but should not be identical to it.

Considering this, for the thesis statement presented the best way to restate this is "Saturated fats found in foods of animal origin raise cholesterol levels, so the fewer of these foods you eat, the less likely your chance of having a heart attack", because as the thesis this sentence refers to the negative effects cholesterol can have in the heart, but this is more specific by directly stated is saturated fats raise cholesterol and by avoiding it you might avoid a heart attack. This means this sentence address the main points of the thesis but uses different words which are more specific and therefore is appropriate for restating the thesis in the conclusion paragraph.

correct!

hope this !
