Question

which best describes a strong thesis statement in an informative essay? it provides the writer’s reasons for writing the essay. it provides necessary statistics and important facts. it combines the topic of the essay with the writer’s viewpoint. it combines the topic of the essay with a conclusion.

Explanation:

A strong thesis statement in an informative essay should combine the essay's topic with the writer's viewpoint (or the main idea they want to convey about the topic). The first option is about the writer’s reasons for writing, not the thesis. The second is about statistics/facts (more for body content). The fourth combines topic with conclusion, but a thesis previews the main idea, not conclusion. The third option correctly links the essay’s topic and the writer’s viewpoint on it.

Answer:

It combines the topic of the essay with the writer's viewpoint.
