To answer these questions:
1. In a persuasive essay, the thesis statement should represent an opinion.
To find the answer, we can break down the question into two parts: identifying what a thesis statement is and determining its purpose in a persuasive essay.
First, a thesis statement is a concise summary of the main point or claim of an essay. Next, we need to consider the purpose of a persuasive essay, which is to persuade or convince the reader of a certain viewpoint or opinion.
Based on this understanding, we can determine that a thesis statement in a persuasive essay should represent an opinion. Therefore, the correct answer is A. True.

To find the answer, we can consider the different options provided and identify which one aligns with the usual structure for a persuasive essay.
Order of importance, chronological order, and problem and solution are all potential structures for organizing an essay. However, the most common structure for a persuasive essay is presenting points in order of importance to build a strong argument. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Order of importance.
3. Which of the following is NOT a sentence?
To answer this question, we need to identify the option that does not form a complete sentence.
Both "Can you believe it?" and "Four more years!" are complete sentences. However, "I know." is not a complete sentence as it is missing a subject or verb. Therefore, the correct answer is B. I know.
