Which sentences in this excerpt from Theodore Dreiser's "My Brother Paul" are examples of characterization that suggest Paul is

a superstitious person?
Of all those who had been so lavish in their greetings and companionship earlier in his life, scarcely one, so far as I could make out, found him in that retired world to which he was forced. One or two pegged-out actors sought him and borrowed a little of the little that he had; a few others came when he had nothing at all. His partners, quarreling among themselves and feeling that they had done him an injustice, remained religiously away. He found, as he often told my sister, broken horse-shoes (a "bad sign"), met cross-eyed women, another "bad sign," was pursued apparently by the inimical number thirteen—and all these little straws depressed him horribly. Finally, being no longer strong enough to be about, he took to his bed and remained there days at a time, feeling well while in bed but weak when up. For a little while he would go "downtown" to see this, that and the other person, but would soon return. One day on coming back home he found one of his hats lying on his bed, accidentally put there by one of the children, and according to my sister, who was present at the time, he was all but petrified by the sight of it. To him it was the death-sign. Some one had told him so not long before!!! NextReset

Answer:

The best effective thesis statements are both the first ("Hollembeak's review of the high school's play is fun and entertaining to read") and third ("In her editorial, Mellie writes convincingly of the need for high school classes to begin later in the morning") options.

Explanation:

The first and third statements are the only ones which state a convincing thesis about an argument. Both of them are informative about what is the object argued and present a clear idea of the main point made on that. Second option does not apply to the question because it is lacking in some way, because though it is informative and sets an idea of the argument, it is very broad to state "the play's action [is] in the 21st century". Fourth option does apply to the question as well because it is not a thesis, that is just exploring the content of an argument made, clarifying ideas for readers. And fifth option does not apply to the question too, because it is not a thesis, that is just a description of an information previously given, it only characterizes an informative statement, not an effective thesis.
