Answer 1

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows.

If your specific purpose statement were "to inform my audience about the major features of four american quilt patterns" you would probably organize your speech in __________ order.

A. casual

B. patchwork

C. spatial

D. descriptive

E. topical

Answer:

The best answer is letter E. topical.

Explanation:

There are several possible ways to organize and structure your speech. Each way can work as a strength or a weakness when it comes to achieving your purpose with that speech. If you wish to inform your audience on a topic that can be further subdivided into other topics for better appreciation, demonstration, or explanation, you should use topical order then. In the case we're studying here, you want to inform your audience about major features of American quilt patterns. That is your topic. Suppose there are four major features. Those are your subtopics. You can dedicate some time of your speech to each of them and wrap up by returning to the original overall topic.
