Question

5. A student has asked Professor Norman how to write a good introduction paragraph. Which of the following details would not support Professor Norman's response to the student?

Answer 1

Answer:

You will also want to make sure you have time to edit your essay.

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

• You may want to offer some background information in your introduction.
• You will also want to make sure you have time to edit your essay.
• Introductions should contain a thesis statement.
• Introductions need to have an interesting opening.

What the student needs is information on how to write a good introduction paragraph. Including background information, a thesis statement, and an interesting opening are all good advice on how an introduction should be written. The only advice that does not fit is the second one - that the student should make sure to have enough time to edit their essay. That is not relevant to what a proper introduction paragraph should look like.

Thus, the correct answer is: You will also want to make sure you have time to edit your essay.
