Question

Assume that your specific purpose statement is "to inform my audience about leadership of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal government." Which of the following would most likely be the main points of your speech?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) The executive branch of the Federal government is headed by the president, who is responsible for carrying out federal laws.

B) The judicial branch of the Federal government is headed by the Supreme Court and is responsible for interpreting the constitution and reviewing laws.

D) The legislative branch of the Federal government is headed by Congress, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Explanation:

A purpose statement, as the title suggests primarily intends to reveal the key purpose, focus, direction, and scope of a research paper.

As per the question, if the purpose statement displays that 'the speech aims to inform the audience regarding leadership of distinct branches of Federal government'; then the points of the speech would include above points as they reveal how each branch(executive, judicial, and legislative) is led by president, supreme court, and congress along with a brief description of their responsibilities. This helps in justifying the purpose statement aptly. Therefore, the options A, B, and D are the correct answers.
