Answer
A
Eleanor Roosevelt was the first First Lady to hold regular press conferences.
B
Eleanor Roosevelt was the wife of a United States president.
C
Eleanor Roosevelt wrote many articles after her husband left office.
D
Eleanor Roosevelt liked to volunteer.

Explanation

A lead should grab the reader’s attention with a specific, interesting fact that introduces the subject. Saying Eleanor Roosevelt was the first First Lady to hold regular press conferences is more engaging than the general facts that she was a president’s wife, wrote articles, or volunteered.
