What is the purpose of the Introduction, or the "I", in a research paper? *

1)To introduce yourself to the reader.

2)To introduce your topic to the reader and provide background information

3)To include all needed background information.

4)To introduce your topic to the reader.

i would say to introduce your topic to the reader so 4) and i don"t think it would be 2) because typically you only give background or state your points in an explanatory or argumentative essay

Explanation:

- "when these words are put together to convey a meaning it is known as a sentence. a sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense. placing of words in a sentence is very important. the second sentence is a question."
