Answer 1

Correct answers:
- making an interesting observation
- setting out a problem
- introducing a situation

Briefly: hooks work by creating curiosity or tension (an interesting observation, a problem to be solved, or an intriguing situation). Giving the solution, long character descriptions, or only setting details are less effective as immediate hooks.
