evidence and transitions are the other two you are missing.

It is probably because your teacher gave you different vocabulary for the test that s/he expected you to know.

My first thoughts were:
thesis
introduction
conclusion
topic sentence (two word blanks)
supporting sentences (two word blanks)
transitions

When s/he gives you this much information on a question, you can be assured that they want you to use the vocab they have proved to fill in the blanks.

Yeah, the vocabulary can change a bit. "Topic sentence" is actually the correct answer for the one you had listed as "thesis statement." "Supporting sentences" works better than "evidence," but I hadn't noticed that there were two blanks, and the term is accurately descriptive otherwise. I'm not sure why "thesis," "introduction," and "transitions" would have been marked wrong . . . did you put them in in the right order?

Which is what happens when you ask strangers to take tests for you! It's one thing to use this forum to get feedback on your writing: Research shows that peer feedback one of the best ways to improve one's writing. It's quite another to ask an unknown peer -- who might or might not know the right answer -- to supply the replies to test questions for you!
