Question 15 • Public Speaking II Q2 - CMSD

All of the following are examples of supporting materials, except:

Answer
A
Tina tells a story about a child who was killed in a drunk driving accident.
B
Jake summarizes the main points of his speech by restating his thesis in his conclusion.
C
Natalie quotes a physician who has studied cancer and treated patients for many years.
D
Josh explains that the US spends more on its military than 28 of the other top spending countries combined.

Explanation

Supporting materials give evidence or illustrate a point, such as Tina’s story, Natalie’s expert quotation, and Josh’s statistic. Restating a speech’s thesis in the conclusion is a way to summarize the speech, not supporting material. Therefore, the exception is Jake restating his thesis.
