Question

The​ ________ approach is the better choice if the audience is unsure about your credibility or is not ready to accept your main idea without first seeing some reasoning or​ evidence, since it allows you to prove your points and gradually overcome audience reservations.

Answer 1

Answer:

The indirect approach is the better choice.

Explanation:

Indirect refers to something that is not straight to the point or direct. It comes gradually and in a less quick way.

In this case, it can be understood that the audience is unsure about the speaker's credibility and needs evidence before it can accept it.

By taking a direct approach, the speaker would most likely scare the audience away and not gain credibility.

By taking an indirect approach, the speaker gradually proves his/ her points and can do so by reasoning with the audience and providing them with evidence, thus, slowly overcoming their reservations and setting his/ her credibility.
