Question

3. which of the following is the most appropriate thesis sentence for an essay on your best childhood friend?

Answer 1

The most appropriate thesis sentence would be: "As we got older our lives went in different directions, but we still keep up on social media" (D).

In a good thesis sentence, your reader should:

• identify a key question or idea,
• be able to understand how you are going to develop this idea in the paper,
• and be given a hint of what your conclusion will be.

This sentence (D) is raising a key question: how did the friendship evolve as you got older? It is also providing a direction regarding the way you are going to approach the development (chronologically). Finally, it mentions the conclusion, or the answer to the question, in a few words: "we still keep up on social media."
