Why isn't this thesis statement acceptable?

"I am going to tell you why you should add solar panels to your home."
Question 10 options:


A) It is not acceptable because it should be more than one sentence.


B) It is not acceptable because a thesis should never begin with "I am going to tell you..."


C) It is not acceptable because you should not share your opinion in the thesis.


D) It is not acceptable because it does not share the three main ideas to support the claim.

You can choose more than one..

A thesis statement should be analytical, right to the point and without involving personal opinion. I believe that the answer for this is B because it’s persuading the audience in the wrong way. You usually persuade people with thesis using logos and this thesis contains none of that.

it is not acceptable because a thesis should never begin with "I" ( when talking to an audience, you can always add your opinion in but should never use first person like "My thoughts, I," and it is not acceptable because a thesis statement should include more than 1 ideas so your answers are B AND D
