Correct answer: state a position on the topic.

Explanation: an argumentative thesis must clearly assert your claim so readers know what you will argue. Presenting both sides, including a quote, or adding statistics can strengthen the essay, but they are not required components of the thesis itself.

Example thesis: "Public schools should adopt a year-round calendar because it reduces summer learning loss and better distributes instructional time."
