Which theme in a speech should come last?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: A summary could be followed by a Conclusion, at least it seems reasonable if you get up and have something to say, something of enough importance to convey, you certainly can summarize what you tried to get across, and lastly provide a conclusion to make the Speech and your point of giving it, (at last complete), with a Conclusion.

This is simply my opinion, and I am not referencing any “rule book”, just what I find to be reasonable.

A final Conclusion would by this time,

allow the listener to evaluate all the speaker had said and why. It would have a greater purpose beyond a mere exercise.

This is, again, simply my view on the question and a proposed answer.

Only humans can use what is defined as language. True False
Rufina [12.5K]
FALSE.

I believe otherwise. Animals have their own way of communicating as well, as they have their own language. What we define as language is simply a way to communicate, a way that everyone will understand. Similarly, various types of animals communicate to eachother fairly well.
