Question 79 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_1001370_English 3_S2_2015

Which is the best thesis statement for an essay on the harmful effects video games have on a child's social development?

Answer

It is a possibility that spending too much time playing video games can affect the social development of a child.

Excessive game playing can negatively affect a child's social development because they are not interacting with others in the real world.

While playing video games can cause some children to have unrealistic world views, some games may not be a factor in social development.

Video games are a fun activity for children and should be encouraged during playtime.

Explanation

A strong thesis clearly states the essay’s main claim and gives a reason that can be developed with evidence. Choice B argues that excessive game playing harms a child’s social development and explains why: it limits interaction with others in the real world. Choice A is too uncertain, while C and D do not directly support the essay’s focus on harmful effects.
