Explanation:
One of the most effective strategies to grab the reader´s attention is with a question hook, meaning an interesting question related to the main theme, that makes the reader reflect on the main topic and keeps him interested.
In this example, the author has already used a strong statement and statistics, so a question hook could be appropriate.
I think you should use a tone that sounds very interested and very keen to know. Also, it should sound very 'socialised' and feisty voice. Hope this helps :)
