25 POINTS!!!!!!

Answer 1

Thesis statement 3 sounds the best because the idea of the essay is made clear.

Answer 2

Among the choices the best thesis statement is the third one. "While it is not advisable to stop space exploration entirely, the government should prioritize spending on important issues where the benefits may be more tangible." This is on the grounds that it recognizes that NASA and space programs have made accomplishments, yet the cash could be better spent somewhere else, as the "regular issues" Lyle wishes to discuss.
