Alexander is entering an essay competition for the topic "Does voting matter?" He decides to use the classical argument model for his essay. At the end of his introduction, he writes a thesis statement in which he argues that people should vote because recent elections have been decided by very small margins. His body paragraphs discuss counterarguments to his viewpoint that voting does, in fact, matter. Finally, he concludes by urging his readers to vote in their next election.

Which component of the classical argument model has Alexander forgotten?

a.) Introducing the topic of his essay

b.) Concluding with a call to action
