“How do you feel when you have to wait for something you really, really want? What if it was something you couldn’t live without

? Well, my cousin was five years old when he found out he needed a new kidney. He went on the organ waiting list right away. He was called twice during a six month span that they had a kidney available only to find out that the kidney wasn’t a good match. He had to wait again. The third time was a charm. A small adult was in an accident and his kidney was a good match. This story had a happy ending but so many do not.” The statement above, from the speech “Organ Donation,” is an example of ____________. a. a thesis statement b. attention getting material c. a purpose statement d. a question of policy

<span>A plausible answer might be A, because it provides the reader with a hook, and this is assumably an introduction paragraph, where a thesis statement should be placed.</span>

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. a thesis statement.

Explanation:

<u>A thesis statement is usually comprised of one or two sentences at the end of the first paragraph of a paper. Its purpose is to inform the reader of the idea/opinion that will be developed/defended by the paper's author</u>, that is, the author's stand concerning that subject. It also functions as guide so that the author won't lose focus. In the passage we are studying here, the thesis statement revolves around the difficulties people who are waiting for an organ donation face. As the author says, <u>"This story had a happy ending but so many do not."</u> From the next paragraph on, the author will most likely present data and facts concerning the number of people who have to wait for several years or who never get to receive the organ they need so badly.
