What type of thesis should be avoided in an informative essay?

Factual
Analytical
Controversial
Relational

The correct answer is: Controversial

In an informative essay, the main purpose is to provide information or describe a topic, rather than to argue or persuade the reader. That's why a controversial thesis, which presents a debatable claim or opinion, should be avoided. A factual thesis just states a fact or piece of information without analysis, making it less effective in an informative essay. An analytical or relational thesis are also not ideal for an informative essay as they involve analyzing or comparing multiple pieces of information, rather than simply presenting the information.
