Question 5 • Literature and Composition III

An effective thesis in an argumentative essay must

Answer
A
include accurate statistics.
B
contain a quote from a source.
C
state a position on the topic.
D
present both sides of the issue.

Explanation

An argumentative thesis should clearly state the writer’s position on the topic so readers know what claim the essay will support. Accurate statistics and quotations may help support the argument, but they are not required in the thesis, and it does not need to present both sides.
