1. 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. It is unknown to me what the Winter Olympics have to do with medical uses of iodine, except perhaps using up a lot of it. The thing about silver iodide is not, except perhaps in the X-ray room, about medical uses. And starting with "bashing" the thing you are discussing is just plain silly. It's like saying, "I want to tell you about this thing that I admit is not all that important." Who listens after that?

You could use "D" but honestly, none of these are very good ways to start an essay. A, B and C are too informal.

If these are the only choices, the best answer is D.
