Question

Which of the following is NOT a function of a speech introduction? To gain and maintain audience attention To state a brief summary of the main arguments you will be presenting To establish your qualifications for speaking quuzlet

Answer 1

The correct answer is: To establish your qualifications for speaking quuzlet.

Explicitly introducing one's qualifications to do anything at the start of a speech is not a common practice. If it happened, it would be done by someone else before the speaker steps on stage and the speech begins. Althought it may seem as an arrogant practice, a speaker may express their qualifications once having introduced themselves and the arguments to be presented.
