Ms. Sue I understand, but what the professor requested was the following:
NOTE: In the “Sample: Outline,” it states that the thesis statement is the last one to three sentences of the introduction. However, the thesis statement must be one sentence in length and the last sentence of the introduction.)
Therefore, my question would be does the last sentence represent a thesis statement?

Exactly what is it you are planning to prove in your paper?

State that in your thesis sentence.
To determine if the last sentence of an introduction represents a thesis statement, you need to analyze the content of the sentence. A thesis statement is a concise and clear statement that presents the main argument or focus of an essay. It typically comes at the end of the introductory paragraph and guides the reader about the main idea discussed in the essay.
To identify a thesis statement, you should look for a sentence that:
1. Presents a specific claim or argument: A thesis statement should express a clear position or argument about a topic or issue.
2. Provides a roadmap for the essay: It should outline the main points or aspects that will be discussed to support the argument.
3. Is concise and focused: A thesis statement should be a single sentence that is direct and to the point.
If the last sentence of the introduction satisfies these criteria and clearly presents the main argument or focus of the essay, then it can be considered a thesis statement. However, if there is ambiguity or it fails to provide a specific claim, it may not properly fulfill the role of a thesis statement. In such cases, you may need to revise and clarify the sentence to make it an effective thesis statement.
