- Increasing the time on spent on points I and II by 15% each and decreasing the time spent on point III by 30%.
Explanation:
Preparation of an effective speech requires arduous efforts and time. Therefore, it requires to devote the time to each point or idea to be presented depending on the knowledge and experience that the speaker possesses about that particular topic or on the basis of the level of significance of the points.
As per the question, Alexi's speech could be balanced by 'increasing the time she spends on point I and II by 15% each and by reducing the excessive time devoted to point III by 30%' as <u>the 'description of experiences and how vice presidents fail to be a part of the real change' in respect to organization and student government must be elaborated more coherently to persuade the readers</u> and therefore, requires more time. While <u>the last point is a mere suggestion or revelation of the purpose which could be managed in lesser time relatively.</u>
