Which of the following is a strong introductory sentence?
A. Should each of the United States allow citizens to openly carry a weapon?
B. I don’t agree with any open-carry laws.
C. This essay will explain the open-carry laws in the United States.
D. To carry or to not carry, that is the question.
Good choice! Option C, "This essay will explain the open-carry laws in the United States," is a strong introductory sentence. This sentence clearly states the main purpose of the essay and provides a clear direction for the reader. It sets the stage for the content to follow by indicating that the topic of discussion will be the open-carry laws in the United States. The other options (A, B, and D) either pose a question, express a personal opinion, or use a somewhat informal tone. While these alternatives may be suitable in certain contexts, they are not as effective as option C in terms of providing a strong introduction.
