Step 1: Identify the missing element

In narrative writing, the opening lines (often called the "hook") are designed to grab the reader's attention immediately. Writers typically use a few standard techniques to introduce the main event of a story:

• A question to make the reader curious.
• A quote (dialogue or a famous saying) to establish voice or theme.
• An action or description (sensory detail) to plunge the reader directly into the scene.

Looking at the standard list of narrative hooks, the missing term that completes the trio of "question, quote, or..." is action (or description / sensory detail). In most writing curricula, the classic three hooks taught to introduce a narrative event are a question, a quote, or an action.

Answer:

action
