The introductory paragraph of your essay should always select all that apply.

a. be less than four sentences
b. include at least one personal anecdote
c. capture the attention of the reader
d. establish the tone of the essay

The answer is C. capture the attention of the reader

Hello!

The correct answer to your question is C: capture the attention of the reader. 

If your introduction cannot grasp a reader's attention, it is unlikely that he/she will be interested in reading the rest of the essay. The introduction usually includes a question, an interesting fact, etc. that may interest the reader. Without a strong introduction, your reader may find the essay to be boring and incomplete.
