Consider this speech plan. A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Topic with entries Hook, Evidence, Evidence, Evidence, Conclusion. Column 2 is labeled Plant a Tree This Arbor Day with entries A scene with flowering trees, Affordability of young trees, Problems with suburban development, Importance of reforestation, Blank. What is the most effective conclusion for this speech? Imagine a May afternoon in which birds are building nests in high branches and children are playing in the shade below a sturdy maple tree. A potted maple at the local garden center is available for under fifty dollars, and online resources abound explaining the planting process. By purchasing and planting a young tree, families can repair the damage done by developers and beautify their own yard for a reasonable price. Reforestation helps offset the damage of air pollution, and it restores the natural habitats of displaced animals.

The most effective conclusion for this speech is:

By purchasing and planting a young tree, families can repair the damage done by developers and beautify their own yard for a reasonable price.

Explanation:

The Topic's title encourages everyone to plant a tree this Arbor Day.  The hook to catch people's attention is a scene with flowering trees.  The evidences concentrate on affordability of young trees (prices), problems with suburban development, and the importance of reforestation.

So, the most effective conclusion for the speech would not be the following:

a) Imagine a May afternoon in which birds are building nests in high branches and children are playing in the shade below a sturdy maple tree.

b) A potted maple at the local garden center is available for under fifty dollars, and online resources abound explaining the planting process.

c) Reforestation helps offset the damage of air pollution, and it restores the natural habitats of displaced animals.

These three do not closely match the topic, the hook, and the evidences in the speech.
