Question

Which of these is the BEST thesis for a student's reflective essay? This essay will share my experience of what it's like to have a brother with autism.
B. Rates of autism have been on the rise in recent decades; although many theories on its causes exist, the jury is still out.
C. Autism is a mysterious neurological disorder affecting people to different degrees along a spectrum ranging from severe to mild.
D. Having a brother with autism is a mixed blessing; even though I'm sometimes resentful, I've learned a lot about love, patience, and myself.

Answer 1

The best thesis statement for a reflective essay would be: D. Having a brother with autism is a mixed blessing; even though I'm sometimes resentful, I've learned a lot about love, patience, and myself.  The reason that D. is correct is because, it specifically references how autism is resentful, but you have to learn to be long-suffering, loving, and adaptable.  Hope that helps.  P.S.  For any moderators, I did not copy and paste for this answer.  The computer thinks I copied, but I didn't.  Thanks!

Answer 2
