Question

All of the following are examples of effective informative speech topics for a group of high school graduates and college students except:.
a.. how to use federal financial aid to your benefit.
b.. why you should choose Harvard Law School.
c.. effective study habits and test taking strategies.
d.. Both a. and c. above.

Answer 1

Out of the choices given, the topic that isn't informative to high school or college students is why they should choose Harvard Law School. The correct answer is B.

Answer 2

b.. why you should choose Harvard Law School.  

Option B is the only option/topic here that is not informative.  An essay that is informative will contain content that informs (as the name “informative” suggests) by manner of describing how to do something, compare/contrast something, provide an analysis on something, and/or define something.  What an informative essay will not do is try to persuade/convince readers why or why not they should do something or hold a certain opinion.  As such, an essay on why one should choose Harvard Law School would be persuasive, not informative.
