Which of the following is a way you could begin an essay that's about the medical uses of iodine?

A. Last summer, a splinter in my brother's leg became infected, which led to blood poisoning. He could have prevented the problem with a few drops of iodine.

B. The Winter Olympics of 1980 took place in the beautiful area of Lake Placid, New York. Lake Placid is nestled in the Adirondack mountains.

C. Silver iodide is used in photography. Photography is a widespread form of art, and it has become more popular than painting.

D. Although iodine is useful for medical treatments, so are other elements like oxygen, radium, and barium.

A....then you can elaborate on the uses and benifits of iodine.

it's A.... i just took the penn foster exam and got it right.. Report It

"A", of course.

I would use A. given those choices.

The best i think is A....because it relates directly to title of the essay....where as C and D you would be diverting away from the essay and this could make you lost marks by being irrelevant.... As for B you can use it but it must follows with something relevant like A.....Hope this help.....good luck

The only option that is open to you, out of the alternatives available, is option A, which introduces the reader to the antiseptic properties of iodine solution.
