To determine which of the following options describes one of the tasks of a good conclusion, we can read the options and analyze them.
1. Providing a new piece of trivia: A good conclusion typically does not introduce new information that has not been mentioned in the body of the passage. The purpose of a conclusion is to summarize the main points, not to introduce new trivia.
2. Summing up the passage: This option aligns with the purpose of a conclusion. A good conclusion should summarize the main ideas and key points of the passage, allowing the reader to understand the overall message or argument.
3. Making the reader angry: A conclusion should not aim to make the reader angry. Rather, it should provide closure and leave a positive or thought-provoking impression on the reader.
4. Going off on a tangent: Going off on a tangent means deviating from the main topic or straying into unrelated discussions. A good conclusion should stay focused on summarizing the passage and not introduce irrelevant information.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is: "Summing up the passage."
