In the provided thesis statement, the word "I think" makes the statement wordy. Here's why:
1. The phrase "I think" is considered unnecessary in a thesis statement because the thesis should present a clear argument or position without the need to explicitly mention the thought process or personal opinion of the writer.
Therefore, removing "I think" from the thesis statement would make it more concise and direct:
"Scar deserves to rule Pride Rock because he is more cunning than Simba."
