Bart is having a hard time thinking of a strong hook for his persuasive essay. The essay is about why turtles make the best pets. Which idea below is the best hook to use at the beginning of his essay?

Did you know that having a pet turtle can make you feel happy and even joyful?

Turtles carry salmonella. This bacteria can cause people to get seriously sick if they don't wash their hands often.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, about 37 percent of American households own a dog. Another 30 percent of households own a cat.

Young turtles eat protein, such as insects and eggs. As they grow and mature, turtles eat plants and vegetables. Dairy and processed foods can be difficult for turtles to digest.

Depending on the species that you choose, your pet turtle can live up to 80 years. If you're someone who can handle commitment, a turtle would make the perfect pet.
