Which element should be included in an introduction?

Relevant background information
The body of the essay
A discussion of the conclusion
An analysis of the thesis

The correct answer is: Relevant background information

An introduction is meant to set the stage for the rest of the essay, and providing relevant background information is an important part of this. The background information helps to give the reader necessary context and understanding of the topic before delving into the main points of the essay. Option B, the body of the essay, does not belong in the introduction as it should be saved for the main body of the essay. Option C, a discussion of the conclusion, is also not appropriate for the introduction as the conclusion should be saved for the end of the essay. Option D, an analysis of the thesis, may be included in the introduction but it is not the most important element as it is a more overarching concept compared to specific background information.
