The introduction is the paragraph that introduces the topic and states the thesis.
The body are several paragraphs after the introduction. The body support and develops the thesis. And the conclusion is the paragraph that gives the final point.
2) The statements that exemplify strong thesis statements would be:
- The brief history of television is punctuated by major changes in technology.

'Thesis Statement' is described as the statement that functions to reveal the central claim or idea of the author's work briefly.
It informs the readers about the upcoming argument or subject of the essay or paper that the author will deal with throughout the work.
The key characteristics of a strong thesis statement would be:
Arguability.
Precise(Neither too broad nor too narrow)
Focused and particular.
Clarity.
The third and fifth statements most adequately contain these characteristics while the other options fail to do so due to either being too wide or too brief which makes them lack clarity and focus.
Thus, options B. and D. are the correct answers.
Answer:
This is an excerpt from<em> "O Captain! My Captain!",</em> a poem written by Walt Whitman. In this poem, Whitman addresses the death of Abraham Lincoln. The speaker of the poem is a sailor who is talking to his captain. This is, clearly, a metaphor for Whitman's conversation with the late Lincoln. The captain represents the president, while the ship represents the United States of America. The sailor refers to 'captain' as his father, which demonstrates Whitman's respect for Lincoln. The trip mentioned in the poem represents the Civil war. Although the poet expresses his relief that the war is over, the tone of the poem is dark. At the beginning of the poem, Whitman writes that<em> "our fearful trip is done" </em>and<em> "the prize we sought is won"</em>, but the mood is quickly changed with the line<em> "You've fallen cold and dead" , </em>which symbolizes Whitman's sadness and grief over Lincoln's death.
