Answer:
Answer:
A. EXPERT TESTIMONY
E. STATISTICS.
Explanation:
When someone prepares a speech, this person has to take into account some things to reach the discourse’s objectives, we can present them as questions to answer:
Who is going to read/hear my speech?
What is the message I want to share?
When my discourse is going to be read/ heared?
What do I want to provoke in the reader/listener?
Following these four questions we will be delimiting our speech and we will be following determined objectives. Discourses can attend different objectives, for example:
To inform
To convince
To make someone change his mind
To obtain something
To express personal thoughts and opinions.
Once someone has identified his speech’s purpose then he has to elect discourse’s strategies that will be helping him to reach his objectives; these strategies change according to the TYPE OF SPEECH.
In our case, when a speaker wants to develop the point that voluntour opportunities often do more harm than good, we have a speech that is made to EXPRESS PERSONAL OPINIONS and TO CONVINCE the audience about the main point. To make it possible the correct answers will be then: A) EXPERT TESTIMONY and E) STATISTICS.
EXPERT TESTIMONY: Trough this device the speaker quotes something said by an expert in that theme, giving reliability to the speech’s main point.
STATISTICS: Number information makes arguments more reliable due to statistics show that it had been made investigations that support what has been said.
In regards to the other options (B, C and D), they cannot apply to our kind of speech because they are not providing us hard data that allow us to affirm our main point. Fictional stories (OPTION B) in fact could subtract credibility, while Repetition (OPTION C) wouldn’t be convincing our listeners if the repeated information is not Important; finally, Rhetorical question (OPTION D) is more related to all those discourses that are trying to make someone change his mind.
