Which of the following is not a function of a thesis statement?

It should reflect the opinion of the author
It provides the essay with a clear structure
It allows the reader to connect to the writer
It connects the main points of the paper

The correct answer is: It allows the reader to connect to the writer

A thesis statement is the main argument or claim of an essay, and serves to guide the writer and the reader throughout the paper. The option C states that a thesis statement allows the reader to connect to the writer, which is not a function of a thesis statement. The purpose of a thesis statement is to clearly and concisely state the main argument or position of the author, not to create a connection with the reader. The other options, A, B, and D, all accurately represent the functions of a thesis statement. A thesis statement should reflect the opinion of the author, provide the essay with a clear structure, and connect the main points of the paper.
