Thesis statement

Relevant background information

Reference to the main body of the essay

A long story

A good introduction should provide a clear thesis statement, relevant background information, and a clear reference to the main body of the essay. While a story can be used in the introduction, it should not be long and should not overshadow the other important elements mentioned. Additionally, a long story can lose the reader's attention and distract from the main focus of the introduction. Therefore, D is the element that does not contribute to a good introduction.
