A step-dame (stepmother) and dowager (widow holding property for her deceased husband) would make their son (or stepson) wait until they die to inherit all of the land or money.

Answer:
thesis
Explanation:
A "thesis" refers to the <em>main point</em> or<em> main idea</em> of a person's writing. It tells his position and present his information<u><em> in relation to his topic.</em></u> Since this is what the paper is actually all about, then this is the one which can be compared across different texts to see if a connection can be made.
