Question

the title of michelles speech is: our privacy on the internet should be more protected. which of the following would be the best thesis statement for her speech? a. preventing identity theft and safeguarding genetic information. b. should each person have the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information? c. privacy on the internet should be more protected with a stricter ban and harsher penalties for identity theft, because each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information. d. each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information.

Explanation:

A thesis statement should clearly state the main argument and be related to the speech title. Option c combines the call for more internet - privacy protection with a reason (the right to control personal information), directly echoing the title. Option a only lists aspects of privacy without a clear stance on more protection. Option b is a question, not a statement. Option d is a general statement about personal - information control without directly addressing internet privacy protection.

Answer:

C. Privacy on the Internet should be more protected with a stricter ban and harsher penalties for identity theft, because each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information.
