Answer 2

A carefully prepared and rehearsed speech that is presented from a brief set of notes is called a(n) extemporaneous speech.

An extemporaneous speech is often modelled off a brief essay and follows the same structure with an introduction, an analysis and answer to the question, and a final conclusion. Extemporaneous speech allows for the use of a brief set of notes, but the emphasis is on the smooth and dynamic character of the performance.
