You do not need to use complete sentences in the body section of the speech outline.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

b. False.

Explanation:

Preparing a speech outline does not necessarily mean one can forgo the 'normal' ways or patterns of speeches. This means that even though it is a preparation of a speech outline, a person must use complete sentences rather than phrases.

Using complete sentences in the preparation of the outlines of a speech will help the person judge and see if there is coherence in the prepared speech. It presents the speaker to find the mistakes and correct whatever is necessary. This will also make sure that the intended speech does not have any issues before it is given in front of an audience.

Thus, the correct answer is false.
