This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

How does the hook engage the reader in the rest of the paragraph?

Why does the whole world measure its time and define its position in relation to the Greenwich Meridian, a line passing through a spot on the banks of the Thames in south-east London? The story begins with the invention in London of a sea-going clock that allowed sailors to find their longitude. The object pictured here is one of those clocks — a marine chronometer made around 1800 — which could keep perfect time even in rolling seas.

-It gives the reader information about a previously unfamiliar topic.

-It makes the reader wonder how the chronometer relates to our notion of time.

-It makes the reader feel a personal connection to the inventor of the clock.

-It piques the reader's interest in the bank of the Thames in southeast London.

Answer: -It makes the reader wonder how the chronometer relates to our notion of time.

Explanation:

The hook is a literary technique aimed to hold the readers' interest in the narrative. The hook appears at the beginning, although it can vary from several pages in a novel, numerous paragraphs in a short story, or it could also be a sole opening sentence, even a single line.

In this case, the readers´ interest is kept by installing the doubt around how the chronometer relates to our notion of time.

Ways by which parents can improve equal power relations in a family set up
pantera1 [17]

Parents should sit and discuss things with their children.  They must remind them that they have to help each other and watch out for each other. More importantly, they should emphasize the fact that everyone is treated as equals.  No one is above the other. It will prevent conflict and rivalry among children.
