Answer 1

A thesis statement:

1.) Tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion.

2.) Is a road map for the paper; in other words, it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper.

3.) Directly answers the question asked of you. A thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself. The subject, or topic, of an essay might be World War II or Moby wingspan; a thesis must then offer a way to understand the war or the novel.

4.) Makes a claim that others might dispute.

5.) Is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your argument to the reader. The rest of the paper, the body of the essay, gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic of your interpretation.

Answer 4

No. D.) The Exorcist is a horror movie based on a 1949 exorcism performed on a 13 year old boy named Robbie.

Answer 5

However, it could also be E.) The Exorcist is the scariest movie ever made.

Yes, on second thought, it is E.)

Answer 7

These are actually all very bad choices. I would have said
"The Exorcist, being the scariest movie ever made, is a horror movie based on a 1949 exorcism performed on a 13 year old boy named Robbie."
This gives you the ability to state a claim and a fact.

Answer 8
