Answer:

(A) Tell a joke

Explanation:

Not knowing the audience to which the speech is being addressed it is always better to play it safe. Telling a story or a startling statistic or even starting with a question; these are all safe options. They grab the attention of the audience regardless of their age and interests. Starting with a joke is risky as it could either reduce the impact of the speech or even offend the listeners.

Answer:

1: Iran

2: The Persian Wars began in 499 BCE, when Greeks in the Persian-controlled territory rose in the Ionian Revolt. Athens, and other Greek cities, sent aid, but were quickly forced to back down after defeat in 494 BCE. Subsequently, the Persians suffered many defeats at the hands of the Greeks, led by the Athenians

3: With this double defeat, the invasion was ended, and Persian power in the Aegean severely dented. The Greeks would now move Pto the offensive, eventually expelling the Persians from Europe, the Aegean islands and Ionia before the war finally came to an end in 479 BC.

4: Following the wars, Athens emerged as the supreme naval power in Greece. It formed the Delian League, ostensibly to create a cohesive Greek network among city-states to ward off further Persian attacks.

5: The Peloponnesian War was a war fought in ancient Greece between Athens and Sparta—the two most powerful city-states in ancient Greece at the time (431 to 405 B.C.E.). This war shifted power from Athens to Sparta, making Sparta the most powerful city-state in the region. ... This eventually drew Sparta into the conflict.

6: The Peloponnesian War marked the end of the Golden Age of Greece, a change in styles of warfare, and the fall of Athens, once the strongest city-state in Greece. The balance in power in Greece was shifted when Athens was absorbed into the Spartan Empire

7: First, his father was able to unite the Greek city-states, and Alexander destroyed the Persian Empire forever. More importantly, Alexander's conquests spread Greek culture, also known as Hellenism, across his empire. ... Without Alexander's ambition, Greek ideas and culture might well have remained confined to Greece.

8: Alexander's Empire went from Greece, all the way up to Pakistan. The reason why he stopped at the outskirts of India though, is because his army was already waning, they wanted to return to their families after all this conquering.

9: He led important campaigns and expanded his empire from Greece to Persia, Babylon, Egypt and beyond, taking advantage of local political contexts as he conquered new territory

What limitations can a setting impose on the characters in the story and the writer?
Bond [772]
- the author is limited to what he or she can make the characters do, in a way this affects the characters as well
