Both Ada and Phil are evaluating their thesis statements, topic sentences, and evidence. If Ada finds
that her essay doesn't have a thesis statement identifying the topic of the essay, she will reread the essay to
determine the main point of the essay. If Phil finds that his essay lacks evidence to support his thesis
statement, he will do additional research to find substantial evidence. Who is correctly evaluating and
revising his or her essay?
A. Both Ada and Phil
B. Neither Ada nor Phil
C. Only Ada
D. Only Phil
I chose D but I am not sure about my answer.
Why do you think it's only D?
because the thesis statement needs research so you can find more interesting way to approach the topic
I don't agree. I don't think a thesis statement needs to be more interesting.
I believe that A is the best answer. Please check back to see if there are other answers.
I agree with Ms. Sue.
Based on the information provided, the correct answer is D. Only Phil.
This is because Ada is evaluating her essay for the presence of a thesis statement. If she finds that her essay doesn't have a thesis statement, she will reread the essay to determine the main point. While this is an important step in essay evaluation, it does not necessarily indicate that she is revising her essay.
On the other hand, Phil is evaluating his essay for the presence of evidence to support his thesis statement. If he finds that his essay lacks evidence, he is actively planning to do additional research to find substantial evidence. This shows that Phil is not only evaluating but also revising his essay by seeking out additional evidence to strengthen his argument.
Therefore, only Phil is correctly evaluating and revising his essay.
