However, the introduction should make your point clear. For an essay, the last paragraph should be the concluding part. Elaboration, comparisons, examples, etc. can come in the middle.

After you have finished your answer, go through it once and check if you have missed a point. Grammatical and spelling mistakes should also be corrected upon review.
