Question

15. What is the purpose of the introduction in an essay?

A. To focus on current statistics
B. To explain the main idea to the reader
C. To highlight the most important concepts
D. To grab the attention of the reader

Answer 1

I'd say overall B. It basically gives the reader general concepts and main key summaries, tipping them off on what the essay would most likely be like. It stars a hook (something to hook the audience into reading.) but thats not what its for. A seems irrelevant to what an intro is. Therefore the most likely answer is b.
