Answer:

The author is comparing a branch used to scare a stubborn mule with a good scary story. The author thinks that making people scared will make them want to listen more because of the fear they have of something happening. The author thinks that as he tells a story the more fear the audience has the more interested they are in the story, wanting to know what will happen next

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

D). Interference.

Explanation:

'Interference' in general terms is associated with 'obstructing or intervening in between a particular action or process. In 'speech communication process', it is described as the active or passive obstruction created by the audience that  often leads to break the flow and concentration of the speaker.

As per the question, 'coughing or walking of the audience' in the middle of a presentation would be exemplified as 'interference' because it would distract the speaker as well as other people sitting in the audience and obstruct their attention which may break the flow of ideas collaboratively and coherently. It would also affect their concentration that may <u>influence the readers' understanding(by blocking their capacity to receive the intended message) of the message or idea and therefore, the desired impact would not be evoked.</u> Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
