Writing Workshop: Historical Turning Point

Question 4 • 670201 World History S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Read an excerpt from the introduction to an informative essay.The Neolithic Revolution was an important turning point in history. Instead of moving from place to place to gather enough food to survive, early peoples were able to settle in one place, farm crops on a large scale, and build settlements.How could a writer most improve the thesis in this introduction?

Answer
A
by describing the crops that were grown
B
by explaining the lasting change that occurred
C
by providing sources for the information used
D
by summarizing events that happened later

Explanation

The introduction explains what changed during the Neolithic Revolution: people settled in one place and farmed instead of constantly moving to find food. A stronger thesis would also state the lasting impact of that change, so the essay has a clear main point to develop. Describing particular crops would add a detail, while sources and later events would not strengthen the thesis itself.
