Question

1. read the sentence.

jimmy carters presidency was marked by several major national and international crises.
is this thesis sentence too broad, too narrow, or balanced in scope?
too broad
balanced
too narrow

Explanation:

A balanced thesis sentence has a scope that is neither too broad (covering an overly large, unfocused topic) nor too narrow (covering a very specific, limited topic). The sentence about Jimmy Carter’s presidency and major crises is focused enough to be explored (mentioning “several major” crises gives a direction) and not so broad as to be unmanageable or so narrow as to have little to discuss.

Answer:

balanced
