All of the options below describe a THESIS STATEMENT except ONE. Choose the option that is NOT true about a thesis statement.

The option that is NOT true about a thesis statement is:

- It is a fact or a statement of personal opinion.

A thesis statement is not a fact, but rather an argument or claim that the writer will support or prove throughout the essay. It is also not a statement of personal opinion, as it should be based on evidence and logical reasoning rather than personal preference. The other options describe true characteristics of a thesis statement:
- It presents the main idea or argument of an essay.
- It is usually positioned at the end of the introductory paragraph.
- It provides a roadmap or guide for the rest of the essay.
