Answer:
The best effective thesis statements are both the first ("Hollembeak's review of the high school's play is fun and entertaining to read") and third ("In her editorial, Mellie writes convincingly of the need for high school classes to begin later in the morning") options.
Explanation:
The first and third statements are the only ones which state a convincing thesis about an argument. Both of them are informative about what is the object argued and present a clear idea of the main point made on that. Second option does not apply to the question because it is lacking in some way, because though it is informative and sets an idea of the argument, it is very broad to state "the play's action [is] in the 21st century". Fourth option does apply to the question as well because it is not a thesis, that is just exploring the content of an argument made, clarifying ideas for readers. And fifth option does not apply to the question too, because it is not a thesis, that is just a description of an information previously given, it only characterizes an informative statement, not an effective thesis.
The theme of the speech is the answer b.
4. Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Science Fiction
This is science fiction because although it is not a true story, it involves scientific concepts such as dinosaurs, volcanoes, and prehistoric man.
5. No Way In
Realistic Fiction
This gives a detailed description of what a high school student may go through whilst trying to fit into a new environment. This is relatable and this, it is realistic to what a high school student's experience is really like.
6. Bump in the Night
Historical Fiction
Although the characters and their part in this historical event are fictional, the historical event taking place is not fictional. It describes what a soldier experiences during a war and the psyche processes that take place.
This could be realistic fiction but as it involves the American Civil War, historical fiction is more relevant.
I believe the one that is typically included in the introductory section of an expository essay is : a. evidence and facts. Evidence and facts will grab the attention of your reader and will build up to arouse their interest upon your thesis statement. hope this helps.
