A phrase is a group of words that can serve to describe or modify one or more words in a sentence, but it lacks a subject. It cannot stand on its own and would not make any sense unless included in a complete sentence. A clause, however, contains both a subject and a predicate (verb). An independent clause is a complete sentence that stands on its own, while a dependent clause is not a complete sentence but still contains a subject and predicate. Thus, the correct answer above is C, "A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not."

As you hopefully know, a thesis statement gives the reader a main idea of what the body paragraphs will be about. It doesn't have to be long-- usually it's one sentence and just gets straight to the point.
Here's a starter;
By the end of "(title of the story)", Greg changes into a (what he changed into) because of (idea of 1st paragraph), (idea of 2nd paragraph), and (idea of 3rd paragraph).
Hope I helped!
