Question

Which sentence best shows a strong thesis statement?

Answer 1

Answer:

I'd imagine the correct answer is the third one, "The story illustrates that growing up can be a painful experience".

Explanation:

Well, numbers 2 and 4 just explain the story's setting, they don't really demonstrate the story's main theme or lesson. Number 1 is, like, super vague as well. Like, it could be describing a million different stories. Number 3, however, displays the story's main theme and has a statement that can be backed up with evidence from that story. So, the sentence that best shows a strong thesis statement is the third statement.
