Which type of conclusion is made in a Prescriptive Conclusion?

"Prescriptive Conclusions state what 'should' or 'ought' to be the case."
"Something definitely is or is not the case."
"Recommendation: In a Recommendation, the author proposes a course of action."
"In a Prediction, the author states what will happen or what is likely to happen in the future."

The correct answer is: "Prescriptive Conclusions state what 'should' or 'ought' to be the case."

A Prescriptive Conclusion is one that states what "should" or "ought" to be the case. This type of conclusion involves giving recommendations or suggesting what course of action to take. It is different from a Descriptive Conclusion (Choice B) where something is definitively stated to be true or false. Additionally, a Recommendation (Choice C) is a specific type of prescriptive conclusion where the author proposes a course of action. Predictions (Choice D) involve stating what will happen or what is likely to happen in the future, which is not the same as a prescriptive conclusion.
