Thomas is researching his essay topic and finds a lot of interesting information that he can use. he realizes, though, that his thesis doesn't exactly fit anymore. what advice would you give him at this point?
he should come up with a new topic.
he should revise his thesis.
he should keep his thesis anyway.
he should find sources that exactly support his thesis.

the correct answer is b. he should revise his thesis

explanation:

in writing and especially in essays the thesis is the main claim that summarizes the position of the author towards the main topic or subject of the essay and therefore guides all the text. because of this, the thesis statement should be closely connected to the information and evidence used during the text, which means the thesis and the supporting information should always fit. in the case of thomas, the information he found to support his thesis statement does not fit the thesis, probably because his thesis was not correct, because of this and knowing he already has interesting information to write his essay, the best thomas could do is revise the thesis to make it suitable with the new information.

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.
