Question

For an audience that is unsympathetic to your position, which of the following would be most important during the revision process?
a. Attention to correct citation and use of evidence as well as word choice

b. Attention to paragraph organization making sure there is a clear beginning, middle, and end

c. Attention to proofreading issues including spelling, grammar, and punctuation

d. Attention to tone, diction, and sentence construction

Answer 1

The correct option is D

We must bear in mind:

• Volume and intonation: The role of the voice is key to connect with the audience, send a message clearly, maintain their attention and even transmit emotions.

• Rhythm and pronunciation: The good speaker must take into account the expressive power of his voice and try to convey enthusiasm for the subject that is exposed.

• Order and structure: An exhibition that has an order and a structure that the public can perceive is easier to follow, to understand and to remember.

• Syntax: Constructing short and simple sentences makes the message clearer and more understandable.

Answer 2

D is the correct answer.
