The three characteristics that apply to an effective opening statement are:

  1. States the writer’s opinion - An effective opening statement clearly presents the writer's viewpoint or stance on the issue.

  2. Debatable - It should present an argument that can be argued for or against, making it worthy of discussion.

  3. Logical - The statement should be coherent and logically structured, providing a solid foundation for the argument that follows.

So the correct selections would be: "states the writer’s opinion," "debatable," and "logical."
