Question

An effective persuasive speech will _____________ and ______________. a. anticipate selective exposure; appeal to the audience b. anticipate selective exposure; reveal bias c. reveal bias; appeal to the audience d. appeal to the audience; ask for large changes

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. Appeal to the audience; ask for large changes. A persuasive speech is not supposed to reveal bias because it's supposed to persuade you that the debated thing is a public good, something logical, not something you have bias for. It's supposed to appeal to the audience, either its logical or emotional side, and it's supposed to aks for people to support various types of changes.
