which of the following is the best opening to a speech requesting funding for a new line of holiday - inspired fingernail polish colors?
“luck consists largely of hanging on by your fingernails until things start to go your way,” said aaron alston.
my name is netty neighbors and i own netty nails.
this proposal outlines netty nails expansion request.
you will be excited to hear about this investment opportunity.

Explanation:

In a speech for funding, introducing oneself and one's business clearly is a strong start. The first option is a quote that may not directly connect to the funding request. The third option jumps into the proposal without proper introduction. The fourth option is too general and lacks personal - business identification. Introducing oneself as "My name is Netty Neighbors and I own Netty Nails" gives context and credibility right away.

Answer:

My name is Netty Neighbors and I own Netty Nails.
