Question

which sentence provides the best hook for a presentation about literacy?
○ it seems like every day in class teachers say, \get out your textbook.\
○ frederick douglas once said, \once you learn to read, you will be forever free.\
○ a persons ability to read impacts his success in every academic area.
○ strengthening reading skills in elementary school will improve all test scores.

Explanation:

A hook for a presentation should be engaging, often using a quote, anecdote, or thought - provoking statement. Frederick Douglass's quote about reading and freedom is inspiring and relevant to literacy, as it connects literacy (reading) to a powerful idea of freedom. The other options are either too mundane (first option), or more like statements of fact rather than a hook (third and fourth options).

Answer:

B. Frederick Douglas once said, "Once you learn to read, you will be forever free."
