Explanation:
A "persuasive essay" is meant to <em>convince/persuade people</em> that the idea or argument you are claiming is true. In order to attain such goal, a writer needs to establish an effective introduction.
The "introduction" of the persuasive essay must contain the<u> "thesis statement."</u> This allows the writer to <em>state his argument</em>, thereby <em>giving the readers a clue</em> on what the writer is going to talk about or the main idea of his essay.
Africa is a continent known for its deserts and
rainforests. As such, because deserts
are characterized by high temperatures, we know “high temperatures” is a proper
response. Too, because rainforests are
characterized by plentiful rainfall in addition to high temperatures, we know
that “plentiful precipitation,” too is correct.
