The correct answer is A: Three major themes of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter are sin, forgiveness, and past vs. present.
Remember that a thesis statement is a one-sentence summary of an essay's main ideas. Because it is a summary, it should give a clear overview of the paper's main points.
Answer B does not fit this criteria -- what, specifically, is the symbolism the paper will discuss? This statement does not say; therefore, it is not an acceptable thesis.
Answer C is a question; therefore, it is automatically not a thesis statement.
Answer D sounds good, but it's either not a thesis for an informative paper or it is an analysis that should come somewhere later in a paper. It doesn't summarize the main points of the paper; it only draws a conclusion.
Answer A is the best answer. Notice that it names both the author and the title of the work being discussed, and it provides an oveview of the paper's main points. This thesis says it will discuss three themes and then specifically lists those themes. This is a good thesis for an informative paper.
Therefore, Answer A is the best thesis statement for an informative speech.

A pun is a play on words. It is a literary device that has two different meanings.
From the answer above, a clown is someone that makes people laugh through making funny faces and jesting. A clown is usually found in a circus.
Kiko works in a circus and because of her playful nature, she doesnt appear in a lot of circus performances.

Explanation:
In the book, 'Giver', Jonas was selected to be the Receiver of Memory. It was explained by the Elder who conferred this position, that the receiver would experience deep and real pain which no other person in the community has experienced. The last Eleven chosen to be Receiver, was to have exceptional intelligence, courage and integrity. He must also have the ability to see beyond things. Jonas did not believe that he had this capacity, but the elders believed in him.
The rules also stated that the Receiver could not discuss his pains and dreams with others. He would be rude and tell lies. He would also forfeit his friendships.
Ten years ago, a girl named Rosemary was conferred as the receiver. She was given a painful memory which led to depression on her part. She requested to be released and the result was that she unleashed her pains on the community. This caused chaos. Because of this experience, Jonas could not request to be released.
