Hey MatloccerSha,
I would have to say that the answer is answer choice 2, because 1 and 3 simply don't cut it when defining a thesis statement. For the first choice, a thesis statement and research for it should be most often focused on one topic. For the third choice, a thesis is used all throughout the process of creating of an essay. A proper thesis statement should do a good job of summarizing what your essay is about. Hope this helped.
Answer:
The French writer tells about the contradictions of this world. For example, if a person values his skills and wants to charge it properly, people usually complain and say that he overestimates himself; however, if a person gives a lower price for his services, people will have doubts in his work.
Explanation:
In this literary work, a person receives an inheritance from his grandson and as he is not greedy, he wants to rent a house for minimal price. He wants to win the hearts of people, but the only thing he did was to bring a bad reputation to the family. So, in this work, the contradictions of human nature can be related to everyday life.
