you have to determine which thesis statement would be acceptable for an essay and which thesis statement would not be acceptable for an essay based on the two statements that they give you labeled as “a” and “b.”

Then, you must explain why the other thesis statement would not be acceptable.

Therefore, you should type out both the “a” and “b” statements and next to them, you would have to type one of them as being a good thesis statement and the other you would type after it that it is not a good thesis statement AND explain why it is not a good thesis statement for an essay.

, your choices for explaining why a thesis statement is not acceptable for an essay would include the following, but there should only be one reason for each unacceptable thesis statement:

– The thesis statement is a statement of fact.

– The thesis statement is a question.

– The thesis statement is too broad.

– The thesis statement is too narrow.

– The thesis statement is vague.
