The correct answer is A: Three major themes of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter are sin, forgiveness, and past vs. present.


Remember that a thesis statement is a one-sentence summary of an essay's main ideas. Because it is a summary, it should give a clear overview of the paper's main points.


Answer B does not fit this criteria -- what, specifically, is the symbolism the paper will discuss? This statement does not say; therefore, it is not an acceptable thesis.


Answer C is a question; therefore, it is automatically not a thesis statement.


Answer D sounds good, but it's either not a thesis for an informative paper or it is an analysis that should come somewhere later in a paper. It doesn't summarize the main points of the paper; it only draws a conclusion.


Answer A is the best answer. Notice that it names both the author and the title of the work being discussed, and it provides an oveview of the paper's main points. This thesis says it will discuss three themes and then specifically lists those themes. This is a good thesis for an informative paper.


Therefore, Answer A is the best thesis statement for an informative speech.

A thesis statement cannot be a question, so I'd rule C out. Also, B is very short for a thesis statement. 
So  the most effective thesis statement for an informative speech could either be A or D, but I'd pick A. Three major themes of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter are sin, forgiveness, and past vs. present.

according, to Dr. James peterman, "It is extremely important to drink enough (water) every single day." what is correct puncutat
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

This sentence would have to be corrected to:

According to Dr. James Peterman, it is extremely important to drink enough water every single day.

Explanation:

The last name in this excerpt, (Peterman), needed to be capitalized, as it was a proper noun. A proper noun is the name given to something to make it more specific.

The second part of the sentence need not be in quotes. Use quotation marks with <em>direct quotes</em>, with <em>titles of certain works</em>, to <em>imply alternate meanings</em>, and to write words as words.

The word "water" should not be in parenthesis. Parentheses are used to enclose incidental or extra information, such as a passing comment, a minor example or addition, or a brief explanation. The writer may choose to put additional information within parentheses or to set off the text using dashes or commas.

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.) the title of the encyclopedia and the page number where the quote appeared.

Explanation:

Of all the options given, the best option is D.

It would be much better if you could include more complete information such as an editor's name and the volume of the encyclopedia, but if you do not have this information you can leave it out of your citation.

But it would be best if you at least have the name of the encyclopedia and the page number where the quote comes from.

So we can say that the correct answer is option D.
