To determine which technique the writer uses to engage readers in the introductory paragraph, you would need to analyze the content of that paragraph. Each option represents a different engagement strategy:
- Telling an interesting or surprising fact - This technique captures attention through novelty or shock.
- Telling a brief related story - A narrative can draw readers in by creating a connection or eliciting emotions.
- Using a vivid image or description - This employs descriptive language to create strong mental pictures, engaging the reader's senses.
- Using a connection to the readers’ experiences - This establishes relatability, making the content more personal and engaging.
Without the actual paragraph, I can't specify which technique is used. If you can provide the paragraph, I can help identify the engagement technique employed.
