Answer

Brief Explanations:

A thesis statement for "Write about your earliest memory" should directly present an earliest memory. The first option is a quote, not a personal memory. The third and fourth options don't clearly indicate they are the earliest memories. The second option "Getting a stuffed dog for my fourth birthday..." clearly presents a specific early - life event (a birthday at age four is likely an early memory) and is a personal experience.

Answer:

Getting a stuffed dog for my fourth birthday instead of the Tonka truck I really wanted. I cried about it for days!
