Answer:
The listener finds it easier to make sense of the ideas presented in the text.
The listener is more engaged by the text.
The listener better recognizes when different people are quoted within the text.
Explanation:
When you're reading a text aloud and have an audience, it's very important that you're reading fluently - without too many long pauses, stuttering, and similar issues. What is also important is your tone. If you are reading for some time without changing your tone at all, your audience will stop listening. The text you are reading could be the most interesting one, but once it's presented poorly, the listeners will lose all interest.
With fluency and an adjusted tone, it's easier to listen and understand the text and its organization. Quotes are always somehow pointed out within the text, and they should be pointed out when read aloud as well.
So, the correct options are the first, third, and fifth.
