Answer 2

Hey there,

Your answer is B) Consider the audience's needs

When planning a stage speech, I believe you would not consider the audience's needs. Yes, it would be respectful and beneficial to them, but they came here to listen to you. This is not a business meeting. You are not pitching an idea or having a meeting with your boss. They paid to get in and listen to you speak. Therefore, you do not need to consider their needs.

Best Of Luck,
