Question 33
A student is writing a research paper for his class about sloths. The student wants to revise the draft to include a thesis sentence. Read the draft of the research paper and complete the task that follows.
Sloths

Sloths seldom climb down from the treetops where they live because they cannot walk. Sloths actually have to use their arms to drag their body across the ground if they need to move. Because their eyesight and hearing senses are not strong, these unique mammals depend on their sense of touch to find food. Sloths do not have hands, rather they have four feet with clawed toes. Some sloths have two toes on each limb while others have three toes. Their body temperature is very low ranging between 77°F and 95°F. Green algae often grows on their thick skin. Sloths move very slowly, clinging to the branches of trees where they eat leaves with their stubby teeth. Food can take a week to digest in their chambered stomach, which remains almost full. Eating only leaves does not provide very much nutrition for energetic movement. Sloths spend less than three hours a day being active with their slow movements. Sloths may appear to be slow and tired creatures, but that is just the way their bodies work.

Choose the sentence that would BEST serve as the thesis statement.
