Explanation:

When writing thesis statement, one must note that it should not be confusing and hard to understand.

A weak thesis statement usually contains obvious facts and things that no one can disagree with. A strong thesis doesn't have that.

Some weak thesis lead to a dead end thereby confusing the reader.

That's why it's important to revise weak thesis statements.

Revision of weak thesis statements helps to strengthen that thesis and make it align with what has been expressed in the body of the paper.
