Read the thesis statement below and answer the question that follows. Students should be educated. What is wrong with this thesi
s statement? Not all students should be educated.
It is not a research question.
It is not long enough for a thesis.
It is neither debatable nor specific.
The correct answer is D. It is neither debatable nor specific.
Explanation:
A thesis statement is a set of words that help the author develop and argument. The thesis statement needs to be specific (show a position and reasons) and debatable (it is necessary to provide evidence).
In the case of the thesis statement "Students should be educated" this is not appropriate, because it is neither debatable nor specific. This thesis does not express the position of the author towards education or the reasons why "Students should be educated" which means it is too broad and vague. Also, because it is not specific it is not debatable as there is not any specific point that can be debated or supported.
Well I would say that it is not debatable or specific because what would that person argue in their essay? They dont have three concise points ironed out to present to the reader.
