Question

Which best describes the purpose of the thesis statement in an interpretive essay about a novel?

Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

A thesis statement can be defined as a statement that summarizes the main purpose or claim of an essay or a research paper. A thesis statement usually appears at the end of the first paragraph or the introductory paragraph. A thesis statement helps the readers to know what they should expect from the essay or the research paper.  A thesis statement describes the main purpose and the claims that the author is making. And the idea on which he/she is going to persuade the readers. A good thesis statement is easily identifiable by the readers.

So, the correct answer is option C.
