Question

read the narrative prompt: write an essay about one thing you do each day to help the environment. which of the choices is the best implied thesis statement for the prompt? (remember that an implied thesis statement is an overall idea or belief that a writer uses as the basis of the essay but never states directly in the writing.) driving less frequently is a good way to help the environment. i will write about how global warming is a scientific fact that can be proven. if you dont recycle, you are part of the problem instead of part of the solution. there are many different things people can do to help save the planet like installing solar panels, using rain barrels, composting, building with sustainable materials, buying organic products, reducing waste, and using native plants in gardens.

Explanation:

The task is to identify the best implied thesis statement for an essay about an environmental - helping action. The key is to find a statement that is an overall idea (not a fact or too broad).

• "Driving less frequently is a good way to help the environment" is a specific action and a belief (implied thesis).
• "There are many different things people can do to help save the planet..." is too broad.
• "If you don't recycle, you are part of the problem..." is more of a statement about a problem - aspect rather than a thesis for an essay on "one thing you do".
• "I will write about how global warming is a scientific fact..." is about writing a factual account, not an essay with a thesis on a personal action.

Answer:

Driving less frequently is a good way to help the environment.
