Answer:

The primary purpose of an argumentative thesis it to present the main idea of the argumentative essay by stating some kind of assertion or claim.

This argumentative thesis must be debatable -because some people can disagree-, assertive -because it takes a position and defines the writer's stance- and reasonable -because its logical, possible and based on evidence.
