include the topic being discussed.
B
clearly take a position or side.
C
vaguely express a viewpoint.
D
cite the source of the study.

Explanation

The thesis identifies the topic—television’s effects on children—but does not make a claim about whether too much television is harmful or beneficial. A stronger thesis clearly takes a position, such as arguing that too much television harms children. Therefore, the best improvement is to clearly take a position or side.
