Evaluate these two versions of this thesis. Explain why one is more effective than the other..

A. Ants are important.
B. Ants play a critical role in aerating our soil.

O A is the better choice because it makes a claim boldly and clearly.
O A is too general; B makes a specific claim about why ants are important: they aerate our soil.

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Why?

Well to start of Option B is way too specific. Unless you are only going to talk about why ants play critical role by aerating our soil then use this. But Option A is better because Option B could be a Detail why ants are important. Remember how a paragraph is written.

Opening Sentence, usually 2 details and 2 examples but can be more and a Closing Sentence.

What I'm trying to say is that Option B is a little too specific and giving a little more then a thesis should. But you could choose either. They both a good thesis.

Answer/Opinion: Option B
