paul is writing an article for his school newspaper about the tests coming up at the end of the year. like many of his fellow students, paul is nervous and wants to make sure he is fully prepared. paul has decided to advise students in his article on how they should study.

which of the following would make a good thesis for paul's article?
a.
while taking a test, try to stay calm so you can easily remember what you've studied.
b.
teachers give tests to evaluate what information students have actually learned.
c.
taking a test is so nerve-wracking that you can actually forget all the information.
d.
when preparing for a test, it is important to study hard but also to get plenty of rest.

I'd say D. would make a good thesis for Paul's article. Have a good day/night!

In my opinion i believe the answer would be D :  When preparing for a test, it is important to study hard but also to get plenty of rest.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
