What is the purpose of the introduction in an essay? a to establish the main idea of the essay b to explain the main idea to the reader c to highlight the most important concepts d to focus on current statistics

Hello! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this lovely day. The main purpose of the introduction of an essay is to orient and create interest in the essay/paper you are currently making. You might have to establish a context for your essay by giving some background information on a topic of central/certain importance to the essay. The only answer that somewhat matches this is answer choice D;to focus on current statistics.

I hope this helps! :D

"the day we found the sharks' teeth" i would say highlight the element of the plot as it sets its boundaries and centers the adventures of them being on a boat and cleaning spit of sand.
