The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question has no options, we can say the following.

During a speech, the speaker notices that the audience seems to be a bit hostile to what she is saying, so she begins to change her message to try and woo them over. She is adapting to the audience's reactions and expectations.

If the speaker has his speech already prepared, it has to focus on the reaction of the audience in order to know the kind of effect of its speech. If the audience is not responding, the speaker has to adapt the message to the audience's interest, beliefs, attitudes, expectations, previous experience, or level of understanding. That is why it is important that the speaker previously research the kind of audience he/she is about to meet.
