The three characteristics that apply to an effective opening statement are:

  1. Logical - An effective opening statement should present information in a logical manner that makes sense to the audience.

  2. Debatable - An effective opening statement should present a claim or opinion that can be debated or discussed, allowing for engagement with the audience.

  3. States the writer’s opinion - An effective opening statement often includes the writer's viewpoint to provide a clear stance on the topic being discussed.

The other options (includes a call to action, states only facts, and avoids controversy) are not typically characteristics of an effective opening statement.
