If the following internal summary were used in an informative speech, the speech would most likely be organized in____________ order.

On our tour of campus thus far, we have moved from the student union on the east side of campus and around the perimeter. We’ve taken in the engineering campus on the north, the design college on the west side, and the school of education on the south.

a. causal

b. formal

c. analytical

d. spatial

e. topical

Answer:

The correct answer is letter d. spatial.

Explanation:

A speech that is organized in spatial order has its ideas arranged according to geography or location. Such order is useful when analyzing and examining conditions and structures. It can be used, for instance, to describe the disposition of a room, or how a mechanism works, or even the structure of a house or building. Spatial order is often combined with other types, such as the chronological order, when explaining phenomena, – migration, for instance -, that involve aspects related to location as well as time. The internal summary given as an example focuses on listing places, and their geographical positions, that have been toured.
