In the website article, “Public Speaking: Transitions,” the author encourages the speaker of a speech to use which kind of trans

itions?
OK. when speaking in public I'll admit, some thought should be given to transition, especially with older, more traditional audiences, and when you have a very high content presentation. But you don't have to be a trite, snoozer by saying things like, . . . speaking of bananas. I'm now going to talk about bananas. You could, however, do a segue like that and then make fun of yourself for doing it by saying something like, Don't you think that transition was really smooth? Transitions are one of the places where you could plan to use some humor. This works well with technical audiences because they won't feel you are wasting their time. Since, in their minds, you are REQUIRED to do a transition anyway, it's OK if it's funny.
a.
smooth
b.
bumpy
c.
sharp
d.
exciting

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A . is not the right answer. The author mentions smooth transitions in the context that you can joke about the sudden transition in speaking being “smooth”, but he doesn’t suggest things to be the best option.

B. is not the correct answer. Bumpy is not the best adjective to use for the transition in the speech.

C. is not the right answer. The author explains that transitions don’t need to be precise, sharps, and on point.

<u>D. is the right answer. The author suggests speakers make exciting, interesting, even humorous transitions in order to entertain the audience and to keep their attention</u>. He specifically says the speaker should avoid boring transitions, which will make the audience feel like they have wasted time. Instead, the transition should be used to make speech more exciting and fun.

30 points! How has Mexico's culture been shaped by the conflict among different people? Be sure to name the groups that were inv
agasfer [191]

Mexico has been heavily influenced by Spanish and American cultures for quite some time now like:while  during the conquest of Mexico by the Spanish,they had introduced the Roman Catholic faith and the western education and many Mexican customs and tradition such as mariachi and festivals were part of Spain’s own influences. During the Mexican-American War, true the US won and acquired territory’s from Mexico, so many Mexicans became citizens of the United States and brought their own cultures to America such like their food,their festivities and actual better education as well also some opportunity’s in business and careers, too. So we and the Spanish helped shape Mexico’s culture but while doing so they changed us  as well America would be much different if not for them and probably it’s the same for Spain.
