Which of the following statements about developing an effective, audience-focused thesis statement is false?

Answer
A
Be sure to use specific, concrete terms that clearly establish the focus of your speech.
B
When the audience hears the thesis, it should be clear that the least important goal of your speech is to inform the audience about your topic.
C
You should attempt to create a clear, focused thesis statement that stands out and could be repeated by every member of your audience.
D
You should always remember that the audience is the reason for presenting a public speech.

Explanation

A thesis statement should make the speech’s purpose clear, including informing the audience when that is the goal. Choice B is false because it says informing the audience should be the least important goal. The other statements appropriately emphasize specific wording, a clear and memorable focus, and keeping the audience in mind.
