Answer 1

Answer:

a. open with an attention getting question, story, or anecdote, then quote her thesis statement.

Explanation:

The most powerful manner to begin a speech is to catch the audience's attention with a memorable question or an interesting story. After people have taken notice about what the speech is about and the speaker has raised their curiosity, then it is time to mention and develop the thesis statement, which is a line of argument to be proved or maintained.
