Neither would I have chosen A. Oh, well.

To determine who is writing an effective conclusion, we need to understand the purpose and qualities of a strong conclusion.

An effective conclusion should summarize the main points and provide closure to the essay. It should also leave a lasting impression on the reader and provide a sense of completion.

In this case, Paddy's conclusion seems to align with these qualities as it summarizes the main point and reaffirms the thesis statement. Therefore, Paddy is writing an effective conclusion.

On the other hand, Clare's conclusion is taking the readers beyond the scope of her essay. While it might be interesting or thought-provoking, it does not fulfill the requirements of summarizing the main points or providing closure to the essay. Thus, Clare is not writing an effective conclusion.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is D. Neither Paddy nor Clare.
