Answer 1

Answer:

i think (c) is the best example of these statesment

Answer 2

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Both "A." and "D." do not include the title of the literature you are analyzing, therefore, they are unfit to be thesis statements.

"B." uses bias language, such as, "captures well" which is usually used during argumentative essays instead of analyses (analyses should be as unbiased as possible).

"C." includes the title, and does not use opinionated language like in option "B."
