The “hook” is what gets the reader’s attention. This makes them what to keep reading the story or passage, because it builds their interest.

Answer:

what gets the reader's attention

Step-by-step explanation:

The hook is the first sentence of a text that's purpose is to interest readers. The hook should be catchy or intriguing so that the readers want to continue reading the text. Without a hook, it is likely that readers will simply never read a text because they don't see any reason to or don't want to.
