Answer 1

Answer:

Spatial order.

Explanation:

A speech is said to be organized in a spatial order when the main ideas or points for a speech follow a directional pattern or towards space.

This simply means that a spatial order involves organizing the main points in a directional pattern, according to their geographical relationships or towards space, such as from top to bottom, left to the right

For instance, the main points for a speech about the components of a medieval coat of armor is arranged in a spatial order as;

I. The head was protected by a helmet.

II. The torso was protected by shoulder pieces, palates, a breastplate, a skirt of tasses, and a tuille.

III. The arms and hands were protected by brassards, elbow pieces, and gauntlets.

IV. The legs and feet were protected by cuisses, knee pieces, jambeaux, and sollerets.  

A spatial order involves using a set of transitive words or phrases such as, above, behind, in front, beneath, near, to the right or left of, alongside, farther along etc. It is also used to give a description of the logical progression of something in relation to another.
