If you already have a research question identified, what should you do to create a thesis statement? use it verbatim. turn it into an assertion. create a formula using keywords. rewrite it to fit an academic tone

The answer is: turn it into an assertion. Research thesis or a thesis statement is the main point of the academic writing. First, you must identify the subject. Once it is identified, you can develop it into a thesis. To do this, you must turn it into the assertion and give reasons for it. Further, you need to summarize it and read a lot about the topic before you can use a formula to develop a thesis statement. The last step is refining it to fit an academic tone.
