Answer 1

The English language has changed due to the development of new technologies throughout history.

Colonialism had a major effect on the development of the English language.

Step-by-step explanation:

A thesis statement is a sentence that formulates the main idea of an essay, like the informative essay in this example, by making a claim that directly answers a question. These statements should be supported by precise evidence. Only the chosen statements are effective thesis statements.

Personal opinions, like the belief that English should change to be more universal, or that English is the only language important enough to research, are not supported by evidence, so they are not effective as thesis statements.

The idea that Shakespeare's contributions should be celebrated, as much as most people might agree, is still only a matter of opinion, and not an effective thesis statement.
