elise is giving a speech to persuade her audience to invest money in a savings account.
which thesis statement best reflects her key message?
a savings account will grow over time and give you peace of mind.
cutting down on entertainment and eating meals out will give you money to invest in savings.
create a budget for all your expenses so you can live within your means.
you need to invest every month in order to reap the benefits of a savings account.

Explanation:

The thesis statement should directly relate to persuading the audience to invest in a savings account. The first option focuses on the benefits of a savings account (growth and peace of mind), which is relevant to the persuasion goal. The second option is about how to get money for savings (not directly about the account itself). The third option is about budgeting (not about the savings account). The fourth option is about the frequency of investment (not the core message of why to invest in a savings account).

Answer:

A. A savings account will grow over time and give you peace of mind.
