Hi,
If a speaker were preparing a speech for the city council the style they should go for would be formal, educational, serious, or an informative tone.
<em>Which word best describes the tone of this excerpt?</em>
<em>The correct answer is D. Sympathetic</em>
- <em>The word that best describes the tone is sympathetic. When the driver says, “Times are changed, don’t you know?” is looking for a change in the mind of his listener. He is trying to cause a reaction so that the listener makes sense of the reality. In the sentence, “Get your three dollars a day, feed your kids” The driver is asking his listener to do the actions that matter, he is asking the listener not to deviate from the path that is going to take him or her to live day by day. During the complete excerpt, the driver is showing compassion and sensitivity to the listener’s emotions.</em>
Answer:
The skunk taught Brian that food needed to be protected. The smell in the shelter, in his clothes, and in his hair was still there now, almost a month and a half later. And he had nearly smiled.
Explanation:
I would say that how you can tell if your speech is written clear and concise is by making sure your words aren’t misspelled, you use your grammar properly, you don’t go off topic, getting to the point of what you are taking about in a short manner and then going on to explain, make sure your audience can understand the point you are making easily, and chose wise words, get rid “that” and “there is.” Hope this helps..
