Is there a story in front of it?
In this question the options are missing; here are the options:
What would a story written about this historical time most likely include?
A. A character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire.
B. Events resulting from a terrible snowstorm that occurred in February 1783.
C. A conflict between city people and country people being resolved.
D. General Washington's boyhood home in Virginia being described.
The answer to this question is A. A character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire.
Explanation:
The excerpt focuses on the idea General Washington wanted to set the creek on fire. This is explained in "the river or creek...might be set on fire...and as General Washington had a mind to try the experiment". In this context, if a story is created using this information or context, it is expected the story focuses on how the creek is set on fire. Moreover, it is expected General Washington is the one that leads this action and that he gives orders to others to complete it. According to this, the correct answer is the first option.

Hey there! :D
I think the most important thing to remember here is the structure of a thesis statement.
Main idea- point- point- point. Each point represents like a paragraph of details.
Also, the question stated that it was what you thought was the best sport, and explain the reasons.
I wouldn't say "A". It doesn't have points. It's more of an opinion. It's better than any other sport. (superior) It's a statement, more than a thesis.
"B" and "D" aren't about sports. A specific one was never mentioned.
"C" is the best answer. The prompt asked what you thought was the best sport. If he said 'personally' or 'I think' that's fine. Plus, he had three good points in his thesis. Main idea: I think football is the best sport ever. Points: 'it is fun' 'you work as a team' and 'there's nothing more exciting than scoring the winning goal.'
I hope this helps!
