Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
On the day Janet was scheduled to give her speech, her class was relocated into an auditorium. Janet couldn't quite overcome the feeling of isolation she felt as she spoke to her twenty classmates in a room that could seat 500. Which of the following elements is most responsible for Janet's reaction?
A) Feedback
B) Context
C) Information source
D) Channel
Answer:
The best answer is letter B) Context
Explanation:
The context of a speech involves several aspects, such as the place and time, the purpose, the traits of the audience, how big the audience and the place are, what types of technology will be used etc. From what was explained in the question, Janet's speech had a sudden change in context that impacted Janet negatively. She was prepared to speak to 20 people, quite an "intimate" audience. She probably rehearsed her speech having in mind a smaller room, maybe not even considering the use of a microphone. When she was asked to speak at a room that could seat 500, the whole context change. She felt isolated, surrounded by emptiness instead of the warmth of 20 people in a smaller room. She probably had to speak louder or use a microphone. The change in context was so big that it interfered with Janet's previous preparation and caused her to react negatively.
The purpose of dividing an argument in sections is because;
Purpose of intro:
To inform readers the topic you are trying to persuade them on.
Body: To back up your argument with evidence from multiple sources to try to get readers to be on your side.
Conclusion: To basically summarize what you just wrote and to end off your essay.
Hope that helped :)

This is a really good story! If you continue it I would definitely read it! I would add a couple things to it to make the stranger seem more mysterious. Just to make it interesting.
The <u>passive voice</u> is formed by the verb <em>to be</em> into whatever tense needed and the past participle of the main verb. Whether to use the passive voice or not is a matter of style. However, some of the most frequent uses of the passive voice are:
- to report actions whose author is unknown
- to explain something within a scientific context
- to emphasize the action or its object instead of the doer of the action.
