The correct answer is A. To get the reader’s attention

Explanation:

In writing, a hook is usually the first element found in a text and can be an interesting statement, a fact, a quotation or a rhetorical question that aims at introducing the topic of the essay and especially at getting the reader's attention, because this is the first element the reader encounters and because fo this it can guarantee the reader continues reading or in the opposite does not decide to read all the test. Additionally, the hook is part of the introductory paragraph that includes the hook, after this the topic of the text, the thesis statement, and purpose of it. Considering this, it can be concluded the purpose of a hook is to get the reader's attention.

In which sentence does the author use a more firm and forceful tone to emphasize a point? Then again, I don't feel very Finnish
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Being rootless doesn't mean I don't belong to any one place; it means I choose to belong to many.

Explanation:

The word 'rootless' means homeless or wanderer who does not have a permanent home or place to live. He lives at different places at different time.

In the context, the author tries to convey the message that he is a wanderer and does not have a permanent settlement place. He had lived at different places all over his life. So he does not belongs to a particular place but all places belongs to him.

He emphasize this by saying  that being homeless or unsettled at a particular place does not mean that he don't belong to any one of the place, but he means he can choose to belong to may places or countries.

What is the phrase in the sentence: Ricky, going down the staircase backward, was very unsteady.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

Find the subject.  Who is doing something?  Ricky.  Ricky what?  Ricky was.  That is a complete sentence and it makes sense.  Ricky going does not make sense.  So, Ricky was.  What does very unsteady describe?  It describes how Ricky was.  It describes the verb, making "very steady" an adverbial phrase.  A prepositional phrase describes a noun. Nothing in this sentence describes Ricky.  "Going" is a helping verb. Ricky was going.  "Down the staircase backward," describes how Ricky was going, making it another adverbial phrase.

You didn't say what kind of phrase.  I hope I helped.
