Part b:

which statement from the passage best supports the response in part a?

a. i never thought about my microwave oven until it stopped working one day.

b. i pressed start and then a strange silence, not a steady, busy hum, ensued.

c. for a week, i battled with messy saucepans and sticky wooden spoons to heat my lunch each day.

d. when i finally bought a new microwave, i vowed never to take for granted this great convenience of modern life.

This question can not be answered. Since we can not see what the response was in part A we can not tell you which passage best supports it.

answer: this is not a good thesis statement because a thesis statement is not supposed to have questions in it. a thesis states your position on your topic. a question cannot state anything because it is not a statement. a question is a great lead in to a thesis, but it can't be the thesis.
