What should an essay’s introduction contain?

  1. A summary of the essay

  2. An anecdote

  3. Thesis statement

  4. Exaggerations

The correct answer is: Thesis statement

The introduction of an essay should include a thesis statement, which is a clear and concise statement that presents the main point or argument of the essay. This helps to provide direction and focus for the rest of the essay. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because an introduction should not contain a summary, anecdote, or exaggerations. While these elements may be included in other parts of the essay, they should not be in the introduction.
