The right answers are:
- holding together all the ideas
- setting up subtopics of the essay
- stating the main idea of the essay
A thesis statement presents the reader with the purposes and / or arguments to be displayed in the research. It serves as a map, as it shows the reader the path that his work will take and his interpretation of the importance of the subject. In simple terms, a thesis statement answers the question, "Does this paper talk about what?"
A thesis statement is a statement, not a fact or observation. Facts are used in research to support your thesis. The statement should show the main idea and explain its discursive claims. In addition, you should answer a specific question and explain how you plan to base your arguments
