Explanation:

An evaluative thesis makes a judgment or assessment. The prompt about analyzing the poetry of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman and determining which has a more effective style requires making a value - based judgment. The other prompts are mainly about comparing and contrasting without an evaluative element of determining what is "better" or more effective.

Answer:

Analyze the poetry of Emily Dickinson and the poetry of Walt Whitman, and discuss which one has a more effective style.
