Answer:

D. Edison’s creativity made him a great inventor.

Explanation:

In essays and other academic writings, a thesis statement consists of one or two sentences that reflect the author's position on the main idea or topic of the essay. The thesis statement that best fits the outline is “Edison's creativity made him a great inventor” because it reflects a stance or personal view on the topic (Edison's inventions), and it is also congruent with the outline, which does not talk about people's opinions about Edison (Option A) or in only one of his creations (Option B and C), instead it talks about how he managed to create and improve two great inventions: the light bulb and the alkaline battery.

Which was not a direct result of the great depression
tigry1 [53]
Let's look at our options. A is obviously not the answer. The great depression is remembered for causing great factory closures and high unemployment, and we are looking for what is NOT the direct result. B is possible. Farming was an alternative to city work, so many went to the dust bowl and farmed it to oblivion, making their situation worse. However, people started moving west long before the depression. C is another obvious no. The depression made many lose their jobs and basically eliminated the middle class, making the gap between the very rich and the very poor much bigger. Obvious result of the depressionD is your best answer probably. The original prohibition amendment was in effect form 1920 until 1933, and the depression didn't start until 1929. Therefore, the amendment which was passed to enact Prohibition would have had nothing to do with the great depression. The amendment which later repealed prohibition was mostly attributed to the fact that it had failed. Crime was worse (mobs and mobsters like al capone), people drank anyway, and the government could not practically enforce it. I suppose you could say that the government no longer had the money to enforce it by the end because of the depression, but the government was struggling in that long before the stock market crashed in '29. I would go with D, as it fits best.
