The part of the introductory paragraph that states the ideas that will be described in an informative text is the thesis.
In an informative text, the ideas that will be described are typically stated in the thesis, not in the introductory paragraph. The introductory paragraph's purpose is to grab the reader's attention with a hook and introduce the general topic and tone of the text. The thesis statement, on the other hand, is usually found at the end of the introductory paragraph and presents the main ideas or arguments that will be explored and supported in the body of the text. So, the correct answer is "the thesis."
