Research Workshop: Writing and Presenting the Argumentative Essay, Part 1 — Cumulative exam
Question 5 • AZ-English Language Arts 11 B-CR
Shantel is preparing for a speech that she was invited to deliver in front of a small group of African, Asian, and Latino American female college students about racism in America. She wants to survey her audience ahead of time to be well prepared for her speech. Which types of questions should she ask?
Answer
A
She should ask questions about the location of the speech, the size of her audience, and who her target audience is.
B
She should ask questions about their education, occupations, and level of expertise.
C
She should ask questions about their ages, their gender, and ethnicity.
D
She should ask questions about their perceptions and what sorts of things they expect to learn from her speech.
Explanation
Because Shantel already knows the audience is a small group of African, Asian, and Latino American female college students, asking for demographic details would add little. To prepare her speech about racism in America, she should learn what audience members think about the topic and what they hope to learn. Therefore, the best choice is to ask about their perceptions and expectations.
