Explanation:

First Question (How does Hubbard begin his essay?):

To answer this, we need knowledge of Hubbard's essay structure. If his essay starts with an anecdote (a short story or personal account), then that's the correct choice. Assuming the essay begins with an anecdote, we select that option.

In argumentation theory, a "warrant" is the underlying assumption that connects the evidence (ground) to the claim. "Ground" is the evidence, "backing" supports the warrant, and "enthymeme" is a syllogism with a missing premise. So the correct term is "warrant".
