Answer:
A. EXPERT TESTIMONY
E. STATISTICS.
Explanation:
When someone prepares a speech, this person has to take into account some things to reach the discourse’s objectives, we can present them as questions to answer:
- Who is going to read/hear my speech?
- What is the message I want to share?
- When my discourse is going to be read/ heared?
- What do I want to provoke in the reader/listener?
Following these four questions we will be delimiting our speech and we will be following determined objectives. Discourses can attend different objectives, for example:
- To inform
- To convince
- To make someone change his mind
- To obtain something
- To express personal thoughts and opinions.
Once someone has identified his speech’s purpose then he has to elect discourse’s strategies that will be helping him to reach his objectives; these strategies change according to the TYPE OF SPEECH.
<h3> In our case, when a speaker wants to develop the point that voluntour opportunities often do more harm than good, we have a speech that is made to
EXPRESS PERSONAL OPINIONS and T
O CONVINCE the audience about the main point. To make it possible <u>
the correct answers will be then: A) EXPERT TESTIMONY and E) STATISTICS.</u> </h3>
- EXPERT TESTIMONY: Trough this device the speaker quotes something said by an expert in that theme, giving reliability to the speech’s main point.
- STATISTICS: Number information makes arguments more reliable due to statistics show that it had been made investigations that support what has been said.
In regards to the other options (B, C and D), they cannot apply to our kind of speech because they are not providing us hard data that allow us to affirm our main point.<u> Fictional stories (OPTION B)</u> in fact could subtract credibility, while <u>Repetition (OPTION C)</u> wouldn’t be convincing our listeners if the repeated information is not Important; finally,<u> Rhetorical question (OPTION D)</u> is more related to all those discourses that are trying to make someone change his mind.
