Correct answer: A. In conclusion
- A. In conclusion
- B. Instead

- D. Likewise
Explanation
The transitional device 'In conclusion' is used to summarize as it signals the end of a discussion and offers a final perspective or summary of the ideas presented. On the other hand, 'Instead' suggests an alternative or contrast, 'Next' indicates sequence, and 'Likewise' shows similarity or agreement, none of which serve the purpose of summarization.
