1. Identify which description below is untrue of a good thesis

A. A thesis mentions a broad topic.
B. A thesis narrows the broad topic to a single statement
C. A thesis very briefly mentions the factors that contribute to the writer’s position
D. A thesis belongs in the conclusion of a research paper

I say C. Please check my answer

I disagree. There's one in here that contradicts at least one other.

Will the answer be D.

The conclusion is the closing statement.

D ... as untrue of a thesis. This is probably what your teacher is looking for, yes.

The thesis statement itself belongs in the intro, usually the last sentence of the intro. And the ideas in the thesis also need to be in the conclusion, but not word for word.

To check your answer, let's break down each option:

Option A: A thesis mentions a broad topic.
This statement is true. A thesis usually begins with a broad topic to give the reader an idea of the subject matter.

Option B: A thesis narrows the broad topic to a single statement.
This statement is true. A good thesis takes the initial broad topic and focuses it down to a concise and specific statement.

Option C: A thesis very briefly mentions the factors that contribute to the writer’s position.
This statement is incorrect. A good thesis should not only mention the writer's position but should also briefly state the main arguments or reasons supporting that position.

Option D: A thesis belongs in the conclusion of a research paper.
This statement is false. A thesis statement typically appears in the introduction of a research paper, presenting the main argument or purpose of the paper.

Based on the explanations above, it seems that option C is the incorrect statement about a good thesis.
