Which element should be included in an effective introduction to a rhetorical analysis essay?

An effective introduction to a rhetorical analysis essay should present a thesis that evaluates how well the text achieves its purpose and identifies the rhetorical techniques used. That thesis gives the essay a clear focus. Detailed commentary and integrated quotations, as described in A and C, usually belong in the body paragraphs, while summarizing and restating the thesis in B does not define the introduction’s key analytical element.
