Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
A well-written thesis must satisfy four independent quality dimensions: linguistic accuracy, source integrity, internal consistency, and abstract clarity. Each dimension serves a different scholarly purpose, so one cannot substitute for another.
Application
Reducing punctuation and grammatical errors improves readability and prevents language from obscuring the argument.
Careful reference checking ensures accurate attribution and allows sources to be traced.
Consistency in terminology, style, formatting, and structure helps readers follow the thesis as one coherent work.
A clear, well-written abstract gives a concise account of the study’s purpose, method, and principal findings.
Cross-check
Using an omission test confirms the combination: removing any one statement leaves out a distinct quality-control function—proofreading, reference integrity, consistency, or summary clarity.
Result
Therefore, statements (a), (b), (c), and (d) are all included.
