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.

Momaday discusses the “irony” of the term “New World” (pars. 3–4). What are his reasons for this characterization?
GREYUIT [131]

Answer: N. Scott Momaday - who is a native American himself - finds ironic that white people claimed that they were arriving into the "new world" when in reality there were ancient civilizations already living on those lands, and this claim is one that they have continued to sustain up to this day.

When Europeans arrived in 1492, there were very large Indian populations scattered all across America with a rich history and culture, an element that vastly defers the logic of the discovery of a "new world".
