ws, each shaded by delicate lattice shutters. Like all the houses in the area, where the land easily floods, it sat on slender stilts; underneath was what was called the bottomhouse, where the chickens strutted about.

Which multimedia element would best appeal to an audience's sense of ethics in a presentation about managing
user100 [1]

The correct answer is A video testimonial about a doctor using a patient's records for improper reasons.

Explanation:

The sense of ethics is related to the way people consider actions or behaviors as morally correct or incorrect. Moreover, in speeches or texts, this aspect can be better appeal through real-life situations or experiences. In this context, to better appeal to the audience's sense of ethics, it is a good idea to present a testimonial about the consequences of not respecting the privacy principle in the healthcare system. This is because a real testimony will show real consequences and make the audience conclude it is morally correct to respect the privacy and manage this appropriately.
