Anika has written a weak thesis statement for her paper. Which of the following can replace sentences 4 and 5 and serve as a more effective thesis for this paper?

• The people who live in Coober Pedy love their special little city. All of these people have made a decision to live in a unique way.

• It isn’t what you can see that makes this city amazing; it’s what you cannot see. There are 3,500 people who call Coober Pedy home, and almost all of them live and work under ground.

• Coober Pedy’s interesting history includes miners, people living under ground, very hot weather, and media attention. All of this put together makes Coober Pedy an interesting place to me.

• It isn’t because it’s abandoned that Coober Pedy is fascinating; it’s because it only looks abandoned since people are really living under ground.
