anonymous · Answer

I believe that the answer would be purpose. The definition for thesis is ..a statement of what the writer intends to discuss, which would be a contender, but because of the syntax , using the word "establish", gives the impression that the asker wants to know something that the overall section of words implies a little more indirectly. A thesis statement is something that is pre-established.
