Which of the following is not a reason why authors and speakers consider their audience when crafting a text or speech?
question 2 options:

to make their own opinions closer to the audience's opinions

to understand the audience's background knowledge on the topic

to choose language that will persuade the audience

to gain the audience's interest in the topic

   The goal of designing a text or speech for the audience is to be well understood, convince them with your arguments, to entertain and keep them interested in the topic.

   So, a. to make their own opinions closer to the audience's opinions is NOT a reason the authors consider the audience when crafting their texts or speeches.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
