to act as evidence supporting a claim

D

to summarize what the essay is about

A thesis statement gives an essay a clear focus and makes its central claim. The rest of the essay develops and supports that claim. A thesis may also preview the essay’s subject, but simply summarizing what the essay is about is not its main goal.
