Barry was never sure about what he wanted to do after high school. He thought about joining the Armed Forces or getting a job. He never thought about going to college because he didn't have a career plan in mind. His friends told him to go to college and take a career exploration course. This course helped Barry decide what he wanted to do with his life. All students who enter college should take a career exploration course.

Which sentence is the thesis statement?

The sentence "Barry was never sure about what he wanted to do after high school" is the thesis statement out of the given.

Step-by-step explanation:

A thesis statement is one which sums up the core claim in the paragraph. Although such statements appear in the end of the paragraph, in this paragraph, it appears in the beginning as that sums up Barry's situation.

In this case, it is an expository thesis situation as that statement comes with a background story. A sentence that denotes the primary message of an article or research essay, such as an explanatory paper or essay is called thesis statement. This used to do a claim and immediately answers the question.
