Question 41 • TX-Communication Applications

The title of Michelle’s speech is: Our Privacy on the Internet Should Be More Protected. Which of the following would be the best thesis statement for her speech?

Answer
A
Preventing identity theft and safeguarding genetic information.
B
Should each person have the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information?
C
Privacy on the Internet should be more protected with a stricter ban and harsher penalties for identity theft, because each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information.
D
Each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information.

Explanation

A strong thesis states the speech’s main position and gives a reason supporting it. Choice C directly argues that Internet privacy should be more protected, proposes stricter bans and harsher penalties for identity theft, and explains the reason: people have a fundamental right to control their personal information. Choice A is only a topic fragment, while B is a question and D gives a reason without directly stating the speech’s main claim.
