Answer:

C). It does not make an arguable claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given thesis statement would be considered weak for an interpretive essay because it fails to make a claim that can be argued upon or further supported by evidence. It states a basic fact that the poem is written in dramatic monologue instead of offering an arguable claim that what the poem is offering or regarding the intended message of the poet to draw a conclusion of the essay. It neither gives a general idea about the content of the poem nor does it offer the key idea of the poem. Hence, it is a weak thesis statement and hence, option C is the correct answer.
