Answer:
The phrase which best describes the context of a speech is:
C. the energy in the auditorium.
Explanation:
The other options refer more to the speech itself than to the context in which it is given. However, the energy in the auditorium or, in other words, the audience's attitude is deeply connected to the speech's context. No matter how much the speaker has prepared - how he has chosen to phrase his ideas, how he divided the speech into sections, which facts he has chosen to present -, the way the audience behaves and reacts to the speech, or even the audience's attitude before the speech starts - are they restless? hungry? relaxed? - all have the ability the impact the speech and how successful it is.
If you are talking about the first of the ten commandments in Exodus, then they would be:
1. You shall have no other gods before me
2. You shall have no idols
3. You shall not take the Lord's name in vain
4. You shall remember the Sabbath and keep it holy
5. Honor your father and mother
These are in my own words, but the reference is Exodus 20:3-12 if you would like to quote them word for word. I highly recommend reading them all!
The rhetorical device would most likely be parallelism since it has to do with “the use of successive verbal constructions in poetry or prose which correspond in grammatical structure, sound, meter, meaning, etc.”
