On the day Janet was scheduled to give her speech, her class was relocated into an auditorium. Janet couldn't quite overcome the feeling of isolation she felt as she spoke to her twenty classmates in a room that could seat 500. Which of the following elements is most responsible for Janet's reaction?

A) Feedback

B) Context

C) Information source

D) Channel

Answer:

The best answer is letter B) Context

Explanation:

The context of a speech involves several aspects, such as the place and time, the purpose, the traits of the audience, how big the audience and the place are, what types of technology will be used etc. From what was explained in the question, Janet's speech had a sudden change in context that impacted Janet negatively. She was prepared to speak to 20 people, quite an "intimate" audience. She probably rehearsed her speech having in mind a smaller room, maybe not even considering the use of a microphone. When she was asked to speak at a room that could seat 500, the whole context change. She felt isolated, surrounded by emptiness instead of the warmth of 20 people in a smaller room. She probably had to speak louder or use a microphone. The change in context was so big that it interfered with Janet's previous preparation and caused her to react negatively.

Let's examine the options.

a) the Greeks, unlike the Cyclops, value meeting each other

This is the indirect sense we get from the passage, based on the way the Greeks express disdain toward the Cyclops for not meeting each other. The Greeks say the "Cyclopes have...no meeting, no consultation or old tribal ways" after calling them "giants, louts, without a law to bless them" and saying they live in ignorance.

b) the Greeks shun meetings and consultation

From the way the passage condemns the Cyclops for having "no muster and no meeting, no consultation...", we can tell the Greeks shun not having meetings and consultation. This option is wrong.

c) the Greeks, unlike Cyclops, live alone in caves

Based on the text - "Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting,...each one dwells in his own mountain cave" - Cyclops, not Greeks, are the ones living in caves. This option is wrong.

d) the Cyclops have taught the Greeks the value of society

We get the sense the Cyclops themselves don't know the value of society - in fact, they shut the world out ("each one dwells in his own mountain cave"). They are called ignorant louts "indifferent to what others do". This option is wrong.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

a) the Greeks, unlike the Cyclops, value meeting each other
