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

  1. Debatable - An effective opening statement should present an argument or claim that can be contested or challenged.
  2. States the writer’s opinion - It should clearly convey the writer's viewpoint or stance on the issue at hand.
  3. Logical - The statement should be coherent and follow a logical structure that sets the stage for the argument.

So the correct responses are:

  • debatable
  • states the writer’s opinion
