Question

Which of the following is NOT an introduction style that should be avoided in an argumentative essay? * 10 points A "Definition" introduction that begins with a dictionary definition instead of original thought An "Announcement" introduction that explicitly states the essay's goals (e.g., "In this essay, I will...") An introduction that provides a clear thesis and relevant background information A "Grabber" introduction that includes an attention-getter unrelated to the topic and never revisits it

Answer 1

The introduction style that is NOT one to be avoided in an argumentative essay is:

An introduction that provides a clear thesis and relevant background information.

This type of introduction is effective because it sets the stage for the argument by clearly stating the main point and providing context for the reader. The other styles mentioned either lack originality, clarity, or relevance, making them less effective for an argumentative essay.
