Question

How do you feel when you have to wait for something you really, really want? What if it was something you couldn’t live without? Well, my cousin was five years old when he found out he needed a new kidney. He went on the organ waiting list right away. He was called twice during a six-month span that they had a kidney available only to find out that the kidney wasn’t a good match, and he had to wait again."

This introduction includes:
a.
a clearly stated thesis statement
b.
narrative or testimony as an attention getter
c.
the speaker’s well-defined purpose statement
d.
a question of policy related to organ donation

Answer 1

B

The passage uses a brief narrative/testimony (the cousin's kidney-waiting story) as an attention getter. It doesn't present a clear thesis, a purpose statement, or a policy question.
