Question

Which of the following is an explanatory thesis?


While organically farmed foods are typically more expensive, they are more nutritious and tastier than conventional foods.


Conventional farming methods are more important than organic methods because they are necessary for maximizing the potential yield of crops, which is important for the world's food supply.


Crops that are grown using organic farming methods are more environmentally sustainable than those grown conventionally.


Both conventional and organic farming methods play a valuable role in finding a sustainable and cost-effective way to feed the world’s population.

Answer 1

"Both conventional and organic farming methods play a valuable role in finding a sustainable and cost-effective way to feed the world’s population."

Reason: an explanatory thesis describes or explains a subject without arguing that one side is better; this statement explains how both approaches contribute rather than taking a side.
