Answer:
1. The answer is, D. Should I have worn the special necklace my grandmother gave me as a birthday gift?
2. The answer is, D. verbal, informal.
Explanation:
1. When addressing an audience, your primary concern should be effectively communicating with them. The presence of your grandmother should not change that. When you look carefully at the other options, they are more concerned with how to communicate effectively with your audience.
Option a is valid because non-verbal cues like facial expressions are picked up by the audience as they help strengthen your message.
Option b has to do with enunciation to ensure your words are clearly understood.
Option c emphasizes on the climax and ensuring your audience feels its importance which is very important because if they can't tell that it is even the climax, and also see its relevance to the story, then the meaning will be lost and unappreciated by them.
Option d on the other hand doesn't affect your audience and their understanding of your presentation. You see, while your grandmother's gift is cute, depending on the style and length of the necklace, she may not even see it where she's seated. So it shouldn't be a concern.
2. Verbal and Informal communication:
This is a form of verbal communication because, Verbal communication uses words whether in written form or orally.
This means that when an idea is communicated verbally, people look out for the words and the meaning of the words and the idea it is communicating. This is opposed to non-verbal where things like body language, facial expressions are used to understand the message.
It is also informal as there are not for official use, it is more relational, it is used for humour and expresses emotion as in the case where he sings of a woman's love for shoes.
