Ryan began his speech by saying: "Imagine that you are on a deserted island---palm trees sway in the breeze, the warm sun is on
your face, and the smell of tropical flowers is in the air. Suddenly, the sound of a distant drum breaks your euphoria. What do you do--panic? What would you do if you found yourself in such a situation?" What kind of supporting material did Ryan use in his introduction?
The supporting material Ryan used in his introduction is called:
Hypothetical example.
Explanation:
The hypothetical example is an example that develops a fiction scenario in which the speaker set the listeners in specific conditions to explain a topic to them. This is a very common tool used to think about the possible problems people would find in that situation, to observe their problem-solving processes and abilities, as well as their leadership and social abilities. It is a tool used in role-playing games, and psychodramas to develop certain learnings and abilities after reviewing a topic.
