After reading about how so many people are upset about the united states making english the official language, janet was inspired to write an editorial for her local newspaper. the united states has always been a country made up of immigrants. in fact, the statue of liberty, one of the country’s icons, proclaims, “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” people from all over the world relocate to the united states every year. and this diversity is one of the things that makes our country great. in many countries where people of different cultural backgrounds don’t speak the same native language, they use a bridge language. this is a language that people can use to communicate for business or other reasons. it is also called a lingua franca. i propose that instead of forcing immigrants to learn the complex and sometimes confusing english language, we establish another language that people can use to communicate with english speakers. since most native u. s. citizens speak only english, it would be great for them to learn another language as well. which of these statements from the passage is the thesis?
a. in fact, the statue of liberty, one of the country's icons, proclaims, "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
b. people from all over the world relocate to the united states every year.
c. i propose that instead of forcing immigrants to learn the complex and sometimes confusing english language, we establish another language that people can use to communicate with english speakers.
