Question

Which of the following best describes what a thesis for a historical essay should be? A.) a well-researched fact B.) a summary of an event C.) an interpretive claim D.) an uncontestable statement

Answer 1

The answer is letter D. An uncontestable statement. Having a uncontestable statement can make your work easier and at the same time harder to refute because of the validity of the statements. This would also help you set grounds on how to make your thesis.

Answer 2

I believe the best answer for this would be D, an uncontestable statement. "Uncontestable" means accurate, authentic, or absolute. You would not want your thesis to be interpretive, which is subjective to the author's point of view. You would also not want a simple summary of an event because that does not make a thesis. Hope this helps.
