Answer 1

To determine the technique the writer uses to engage readers in the introductory paragraph, we need to analyze the content of that paragraph. Since I don't have the specific passage you're referring to, I can give you some guidance on how you might identify which technique is being used.

1. Telling an interesting or surprising fact: Look for any statistics or intriguing information that captures attention.
2. Using a connection to the readers’ experiences: Check if the writer relates to common feelings, situations, or experiences the readers may have had.
3. Using a vivid image or description: See if there are any descriptions that evoke strong visual imagery or sensory details.
4. Telling a brief related story: Determine if the writer shares a short narrative that aligns with the theme of the introductory paragraph.

If you can identify one of these techniques in the intro, that will help you choose the correct response. If you provide the passage, I could assist you more effectively!

Answer 2

is it 2?

Answer 3

If the introductory paragraph uses a technique that relates to common feelings, situations, or experiences the readers may have had, then yes, "using a connection to the readers’ experiences" would be the correct choice. This technique engages readers by making the content personally relevant to them.

If you want to confirm, you could check for elements in the paragraph that resonate with everyday life, emotional experiences, or shared understanding. If those elements are present, then option 2 is likely the right answer.
