What is one function of the introduction paragraph of a historical essay?

One function of the  introduction in a historical essay is that it grabs the attention of the reader.

Explanation:

An essay becomes interesting when started with a famous quote that usually grabs the attention of the reader and develops interest within the reader to gain knowledge regarding the topic by reading the essay. The introductory paragraph can be segregated into three parts that are , first line that introduces the topic , second part what the writer thinks about the topic and thirdly it explains main facts about the topic.

An essay becomes interesting when written with proper facts and that makes the essay much more appealing.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
