Answer:

A thesis statement is all of the following except:

  • <em>A direct quotation, paraphrase or summary</em>

Explanation:

The thesis statement of an essay is what lets the reader know what the author's main claim is. Throughout, the rest of the essay each paragraph will hold a direct connection to the thesis, in order to support the claim. A reader should be able to understand the essay's scope, purpose, and direction, when reading the thesis statement. On the other hand, in the conclusion paragraph, the thesis needs to be restated. Therefore, in a way a thesis is a conclusion that the writer has reached about a specific topic. Throughout the essay, the writer will explain why he or she reached that conclusion. Finally, it is able to let the reader know the contents of the essay. Since a thesis statement aims to show the writer's stand on a given topic, it cannot be a direct quotation, paraphrase or summary. These things could be used as supportive evidence.

1. impinge = strike
The word impinge can have various meanings, but in the case above, it means to strike. When 'the rain impinge[d] upon the earth,' it means that it started raining, the rain started striking the earth. To impinge means that something starts, and usually something negative.

2. garrulous = loquacious
The word garrulous refers to someone who talks excessively, likes to talk a bit too much, and usually about something trivial. Loquacious is a fancy word to denote the same thing, although it has a more positive connotation - it refers to someone who can speak nicely.

3. pious = religious
The word pious comes from the Latin word pius, which means dutiful. So when English took this word from Latin, it added a different suffix (-ous), and gave it the meaning of being 'dutiful to God.' So nowadays, pious refers to someone who is devoutly religious.

4. ruinous = dilapidated
The word ruinous refers to something which is in ruins, which is falling apart. The word which means the same thing is dilapidated - both of these words are usually used to describe buildings that are very old, and derelict, and are practically in ruins.
