The Great Depression and the New Deal — Test

Question 18 • United States History and Geography

Which is the most effective thesis statement?

Answer
A
FDR was the greatest president because he had a huge impact on history.
B
FDR was the greatest president because he established unprecedented measures that helped end the Great Depression.
C
FDR was the greatest president because he brought about many positive changes.
D
FDR was the greatest president because he served four terms.

Explanation

A strong thesis makes a clear claim and gives a specific, supportable reason. Choice B argues that FDR was the greatest president and identifies a concrete reason: his unprecedented measures helped end the Great Depression. Choices A and C are vague, while serving four terms in D does not by itself explain why he was the greatest.
