Answer:

Passage C.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the other passages.

Passage A only uses simple sentence structures and all sentences are of simillar length.

Passage B only uses compound sentence structures, and all sentences are of similiar length.

Passage D uses both simple and compound sentence structures but no complex ones. Sentence length is varied.

But Passage C uses all four sentence structures: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. Sentence length is varied.

<h2>Sentence Structures:</h2><h3>S i m p l e</h3>

A simple sentence consists of one independent clause. (An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.)

Example: <em>I like coffee.</em>

A compound sentence is two (or more) independent clauses joined by a conjunction or semicolon. Each of these clauses could form a sentence alone.

Example: <em>I like coffee, and she likes tea.</em>

There are seven coordinating conjunctions:

for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. FANBOYS is a mnemonic device, which stands for these coordinating conjunctions.

A complex sentence consists of an independent and a dependent clause. A dependent clause starts with a subordinating conjunction, contains a subject and verb, but does not express a complete thought.

Example: Although I like coffee, she likes tea.

A compound-complex sentence consists of at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

Example: <em>I drink coffee because I like it, but she likes tea.</em>

Answer:

It is important to understand the demographics of our audience.

Explanation:

Understanding demographics of the audience means to understand what kind of audience it is. We analyse their understanding and beliefs. For example: the way one delivers a speech to children would be different from the way speech is delivered to professors or to corporate people.

Logos is a technique by which audience is convinced with the help of reasoning which has facts and figures. Ethos is a technique in which the speaker establishes a trust or credibility with the audience. Pathos is an emotional appeal or it is way to persuade the audience by evoking their emotions.

Depending on the audience, relevant technique should be used. If one is addressing students, one could use pathos. If one is addressing the farmers for their issues, logos could be used to help them understand things better. Ethos could be used for group of professors as they are learned individuals and should believe in the speaker.
