Final answer:

An effective introduction for Cody's narrative about a talking frog should include a hook that introduces the protagonist, Jeremiah the frog, teases an event from the storyline, and presents key characters such as his best friend Bess, the turtle. The correct answer is E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cody is working on the introduction to a narrative about a talking frog, and he needs to select sentences that effectively introduce the story. The introduction should hook the reader, introduce the main characters and setting, and provide a glimpse into the story's conflict or theme. Three sentences that belong in an effective introduction for this narrative are:

  • "My name is Jeremiah, and I am not your average frog."
  • "I’ll never forget the time that Bess and I were almost captured for a human’s science project!"
  • "Bess, a turtle, is my best friend."

These selections introduce the main character and narrator, Jeremiah the frog, hint at an exciting past experience that may be a central part of the story, and introduce his best friend, Bess, setting the stage for the narrative to unfold. Effective introductions often utilize a hook, develop interest, and lay out the basics of the story.
