I disagree. Besides, it is a sentence that I'd expect from a 3rd grader who is just learning to write paragraphs.
Ditch "I think" --
Oh OK I was asking it for homework help and it was an abcd question. I'm thinking it might be D then
Or C
Which one? D or C?
To determine the best option for a thesis statement, it is important to understand the purpose of a thesis statement. A thesis statement is a concise summary of the main point or argument that an essay or paper will make. It should be specific and focused, and it should provide a clear indication of the writer's perspective or stance on the topic.
Now, let's analyze the options:
A.) This sentence provides some information about an after-school program at the community center, but it does not present a clear argument or perspective. It does not state the writer's opinion or position on the topic.
B.) This sentence includes the writer's opinion that young children should have a club or activity after school to keep them from getting into trouble. It is clear and concise, but it lacks specific details or reasons to support the opinion. It does not provide a clear indication of what the rest of the essay or paper will discuss.
C.) This sentence presents a general statement about young children in the city having nothing to occupy them after school. However, it does not offer any argument or perspective. It does not state the writer's opinion or position.
D.) This sentence is the most appropriate option for a thesis statement. It clearly states that developing an after-school program at the community center will help children stay out of trouble. It provides a clear argument and perspective. It also indicates that the essay or paper will discuss the time and effort required for the development of the program.
Considering all these factors, option D is the best choice for a thesis statement.
