Which would be a proper thesis for the section labeled table accidents? a) if a guest breaks something, he should replace it. b) accidents should be dealt with quickly and quietly. c) one should avoid fancy dinners because of accidents. d) there are ways to prevent spilling coffee at the dinner table.

(D) There are ways to prevent spilling coffee at the dinner table.

Explanation:

Thesis, in the context of writing, usually refers to thesis statement – a statement that contains the main idea. If an individual is writing about table accidents – a type of accidents that occur in the dining table during meals, it makes sense that it would be (D), since the author can elaborate more on the methods to prevent coffee spilling on the dinner table. This would create a more elaborate paragraph than the other options, which does contain a clear main idea to write upon.
