After reading the passage from a speech given in 1872, we can choose the following statement as the one directly expressing the author's thesis:

D. "[R]eal excellence often comes unheralded and from unexpected quarters." (paragraph 1, sentence 5)

<h3>What is a thesis statement?</h3>
  • A thesis statement consists of one or two sentences that inform the reader of the author's opinion and of what idea will be developed in the text. The thesis also guides the author, so that she will not lose sight of her purpose with the text.

<h3>Where is the thesis in the passage?</h3>
  • As usual, the thesis statement can be found at the end of the first paragraph. This passage is no exception. The thesis is the last sentence of paragraph 1, shown in option D.
  • According to this thesis, the author will discuss how some people, although not perceived as special or as geniuses, can often achieve great success and excellence.

The complete passage is attached.

algol [13]

Answer:

"On December 1955 an African American seamstress named Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white person. As she was legally required to do in Montgomery Alabama and many parts of the south. Tired from a hard day at work. Mrs. Parks refused to budge and was arrested, fined, and jailed. Meetings were held at Dexter avenue church, a nonviolent Boycott of the Montgomery bus system began and the Civil Rights movement was born. From the very first Christian ideals were a source of strength for the struggle but Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gained inspiration from many other sources, including the great Hindu leader Mohandas Gandhi who once said "nothing enduring can be built upon violence”.
