The Tie-Back
CompositionClosing by restating the answer and looping it back to the original question, instead of stopping once the answer is given. The reply has already delivered the point, then bolts a summary of itself back onto the ask ("So, to answer your question, X does Y").
Examples
“So, to answer your question: yes, the employee can be added to the app.”
“In short, this gives you everything you need to ship.”
“To bring it back to what you asked, the design runs on both systems.”
“That's why, as noted at the top, the smaller change is the right one.”
