The phrase "lily of a man" as it is used in line 3 of Gary Soto's poem most closely means an anxious weakling, as is said in option C and explained below.

To find the answer, we used our knowledge of context clues.

<h3>What are context clues?</h3>

Context clues are any words or phrases that help us figure out the meaning or connotation of other words or phrases in the same context. Here, we need to understand the meaning of "lily of a man."

The context clues used for that is "A coward I am not," the phrase that comes immediately before "lily of a man." Since both phrases complete each other, we can assume they have similar meanings.

Therefore, we can safely conclude the speaker is saying that he is not an anxious weakling, not a coward. The best answer in this case is option C.

Delivering a speech in a conversational style from a well-developed and researched outline is termed?
notsponge [240]

Delivering a speech in a conversational style from a well-developed and researched outline is termed as <u>extemporaneous speaking.</u>

Extemporaneous speaking refers to the delivery of a carefully prepared speech that has been perfected, spoken informally while using brief notes. And a speaker who reads from a prepared manuscript can be effective when speaking extemporaneously.

Extemporaneous speeches are not read or memorized, so the speaker must be able to "think on their feet," which can be stressful but also foster a high degree of spontaneity and produce a natural, conversational style.

Extemporaneous speeches are more spontaneous because they are almost entirely created in the moment. However, because they demand extensive planning and research, they typically have much greater depth and are therefore typically the preferred approach.
