What is the purpose of a closing statement after an interview?

1. To finalize the interview agreement

2. To start the interview

3. To summarize the interview casually

4. To introduce new evidence

The correct answer is: To finalize the interview agreement

A closing statement after an interview serves to summarize the main points of the interview and ensure that both parties are in agreement before ending the conversation. Option B is incorrect because the interview has already begun and would not need to be started again. Option C is incorrect because a closing statement is not a casual summary, but a formal conclusion. Option D is incorrect because introducing new evidence after the interview has already taken place would be irrelevant and may disrupt the agreement reached during the interview.
