In an essay, the thesis should?

Question

a) contain a narrow (limited) subject.

b) state the writer's own opinion.

c) present a specific point of view.

d) do all of these.

e) b and c.

Answer 1

I'm inclined to choose D, but the answer could depend on how you define each of those first three lettered items.

A thesis should be narrow enough to be discussed thoroughly in the space allotted.

A thesis should indicate an opinion that might be the writer's opinion, or it might be the opinion the writer thinks the reader wants to see.

A thesis should have one point of view rather than several.

Answer 2

Generally state a position and set about proving it is how I handle it.

Answer 3

it's most likely C.

a doesnt make sense. you dont have to write an essay about your own opinion.

Answer 4

C.  A, all subjects are limited, it's the scope that varies; B, it is the writer's opinion, but it must be supported by sources; D, does not include all of the above; E, comes close, but not accurate.

Answer 5

e.
