Correct answer: makes a claim.

A good introduction does more than name the issue — it states the speaker’s central claim or thesis (and often briefly previews the plan or main points). It does not normally present detailed evidence (that belongs in the body) or summarize the full argument (that’s usually done in the conclusion).
