Answer: Some people think that healthy snacks lack flavour, but that is not true.

The hook is the first one or two sentences of an essay. It works as its introduction. The main purpose of a hook is to grab the reader's attention so that they continue reading the text.

In this case, the hook is telling us that an assumption we might have is actually wrong. This is meant to increase our curiosity about what the rest of the essay is going to discuss.

The media can influence in a negative way through highlighting the flaws of the athlete. For example, the fame of lance armstrong was not only taken way but he instantly became an infamous example of cheating through sports in the media eye.

Why is Jack confused in this passage? THE ANSWER IS C!!
masya89 [10]

Answer: C. Jack does not know if Lady Bracknell objects to the location of his house or the rule that says the location is unfashionable.

Explanation:

When Lady Bracknell asked Jack his house number in Belgrave Square, he told her 149. Lady Bracknell shook her head and said the side Jack was staying was unfashionable.

Jack was confused and asked her if she meant that the fashion, or the side could be changed. This shows that Jack is confused in this passage as he doesn't know if Lady Bracknell objects to the location of his house or the rule that says the location is unfashionable.
