Where should a thesis statement be placed in a text?

  1. End of the introduction

  2. Middle of the conclusion

  3. End of the conclusion

  4. Middle of the introduction

The correct answer is: Middle of the introduction

It is important to place the thesis statement at the end of the introduction. This is because the thesis statement serves as a roadmap for the rest of the essay, outlining the main points that will be discussed. Placing the thesis statement in the middle of the introduction may confuse the reader and make it difficult for them to understand the main argument of the essay. Additionally, placing the thesis statement at the end allows for a smooth transition into the body paragraphs, where the supporting evidence for the thesis can be presented. Option A, B, and C are incorrect because they place the thesis statement at the wrong location, disrupting the flow and purpose of the essay.
