Which best describes the thesis statement of an argumentative essay? a. a sentence providing details, statistics, or other evidence b. a sentence explaining an argument against the position c. a sentence stating a reason supporting the position d. a sentence establishing the position on the topic

C. Because When You Put Your Opinion In Opt Your Gonna Have  Debates With People Who Disagree

D. a sentence establishing the position on the topic

A thesis statement is what the entire essay is about. In an argumentative essay, the author takes a position on a topic and proves his position on the topic as correct. The thesis statement should clearly state the author's position on the topic. A sentence providing details, statistics, or other evidence are the supporting details. The sentence explaining an argument against the position is the counterargument. Following the counterargument or counterclaim, the author must write a rebuttal that shows the counterclaim as being weak or even false if possible.

hey how are you doing today

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
