The most effective option for hooking a reader in the opening of a science fiction story would be:

The writer could include a person gliding above a street in a flying car.

This detail immediately immerses the reader in a futuristic or imaginative setting, sparking curiosity about the world, the technology, and the character's situation. It suggests a departure from reality and invites readers to explore the possibilities of the science fiction genre.
