This introductory paragraph is missing a hook: Overfishing is the cause of an upcoming fish shortage. Overfishing occurs "when more fish are caught than the population can
replace through natural reproduction,” according to the World Wildlife Foundation. Once this occurs, the species is no longer
"sustainable." While there will probably never be a time when we do not have fish, there could come a time when we no longer

Which of the following options would be the most effective hook?
The world faces a calamitous food crisis if we do not stop overfishing.
Large factory ships use GPS and sonar to locate large schools of their target fish.
O Catching fish that are too young, the use of large factory ships, and a lack of catch limits are big threats to ocean life.
There are three main reasons why we are facing a fish shortage in the near future.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds.beyond the pit stood the little wedge of people with the white flag at its apex, arrested by these phenomena, a little knot of small vertical black shapes upon the black ground. as the green smoke arose, their faces flashed out pallid green, and faded again as it vanished. then slowly the hissing passed into a humming, into a long, loud, droning noise. slowly a humped shape rose out of the pit, and the ghost of a beam of light seemed to flicker out from it.forthwith flashes of actual flame, a bright glare leaping from one to another, sprang from the scattered group of men. it was as if some invisible jet impinged upon them and flashed into white flame. it was as if each man were suddenly and momentarily turned to fire.then, by the light of their own destruction, i saw them staggering and falling, and their supporters turning to run.which options accurately describe how the author develops the plot in the excerpt?
