Question 11 • TX-Communication Applications

Which of the following does not illustrate the survey method of choosing a speech topic?

Answer
A
Steven watches the news carefully jotting down ideas from the top headlines of the day.
B
Allison asks the students in each of her classes which of her top two speech topics they would prefer to hear.
C
Farrah visits www.gallup.com to gauge which political issue is foremost on the public’s mind.
D
All of the above are examples of using the survey method.

Explanation

The survey method involves asking people or consulting poll results to learn which topics interest them. Allison asks her students to choose between topics, and Farrah checks Gallup’s polling, so both use survey information. Steven gets ideas by watching news headlines, not by surveying people; therefore, choice A is the one that does not illustrate the survey method.
