Robert is writing an essay and in the last sentence of his introductory paragraph, he presented this as his thesis:
'My paper is about dating and social media.'
Why is this thesis NOT appropriate?
A- The thesis is too specific.
B- The thesis lacks direction and fails to identify the specific elements of the essay.
C- The thesis has both a claim and a reason.
D- The thesis should not be the last sentence of the introduction; it should be the first sentence.

Answer :

B

Explanation:

A is not correct because “dating” and “social media” could mean anything. How do they relate? He doesn’t really specify. He is not specific enough.
C is not correct because.. His thesis simply does not have a claim and a reason.
D is not correct because the HOOK should be his his first sentence. It is completely fine to have your thesis at the end of your introductory paragraph.


B is correct because of the reasons I stated for why A was incorrect.
