Question

Which sentence would make the best hook for an introductory paragraph on global warming? Are the conveniences we have today worth the effect they will have on Earth tomorrow? Now we can manipulate and survive on some things like growing crops and breeding animals. Some people really do not believe that Earth is being polluted from our technology. Global warming is a big problem that we should all do something about.

Answer 1

Answer:

The best answer is: "Global warming is a big problem that we should all do something about".

Explanation:

The best hook for an introduction is the one which states an idea and/or thesis very clearly. The last option presents a statement and makes a point that might be developed during the course of the text. The first, second, and third sentences are all arguments and/or examples for the main idea stated, and this is noticed because these three sentences leave space for other ideas and arguments, as much as examples. Therefore, the only sentence which states a thesis is the last one.

Answer 2

Personally, I would choose A. Are the conveniences we have today worth the effect they will have on Earth tomorrow?

B. should be in the middle of the paragraph, C. would also be in the beginning/middle as a way to lead into how humans are truly polluting the earth, and D. is the conclusion.
