What is the primary purpose of an epilogue in literature?

To provide the reader with closure
To create a moral dilemma
To tie in a moral lesson
To offer insight into a character's motivations

The correct answer is: To provide the reader with closure

An epilogue is a concluding section added to a literary work that serves to provide closure to the story. It is typically used to wrap up loose ends and provide final thoughts or commentary on the events of the story. While options B and C may also be elements of an epilogue, they are not the primary purpose. Option D does not accurately describe the purpose of an epilogue, as it is more commonly used to offer deeper understanding or reflection on a character's growth or actions.
