d)
 
Fallacy of clarity
 
– The word ‘right’ is being used in two difference contexts. 
 
 
 


10 
4.1 
– General statements 
Exercise 1 
a)
 
Topic: 
The future of print media 
The notion that print media is on its way to becoming extinct may be an overstatement. 
b)
 
Topic: 
Investing in cryptocurrencies 
Original used as form of payment on the black market, cryptocurrencies have now grown in 
popularity amongst mainstream users (Foley, Karlsen, and Putninš, 2018). 
c)
 
Topic:
 The importance of human resource departments 
In 2014, Netflix sent shockwaves through the business world by essentially reinventing the human 
resource department (McCord, 2014). 

The first hook uses the phrase ‘With the development of…’, which is overused and not very 
interesting to a reader. 

The second hook is far more interesting as it challenges the idea that print media is a dying 
form. Upon reading this sentence, the reader has a desire to continue reading in order to find 
out why this in an ‘overstatement’? 

The first hook provides the reader with too much detail and is a little too specific. It is 
essentially telling the reader ‘Yes – people should invest in cryptocurrencies, because they are 
going to replace the current system’. This information should be provided at the end of the 
introduction, as part of the thesis statement, not in the opening sentence. 

The second hook provides some background detail, stating that cryptocurrencies first grew in 
popularity amongst the black market. This is information that many readers may not have 
previously been aware of? Thus, peaking their interest in the topic. 

The first hook provides an example relating to the topic (possible from a report/article provided 
by your tutor). This is used to set the scene, while also holding back specific details. Again, 
this will peak the reader’s interest and encourage them to keep reading the essay in order to 
find out more. 

The second hook uses a rhetorical question. These should be avoided in academic writing. 
Furthermore, the question is essentially repeating the essay title 
– making it 
unnecessary/redundant.
