a.
the audience will sense that he is being insincere
b.
the audience will not understand why he is speaking oddly
c.
the audience will lack engagement with his speech.
d.
all of the above

The correct answer is D. All of the above

Explanation:

Delivering a speech or giving a presentation for most people is one of the most difficult tasks as multiple factors need to be considered including the audience, the use of language, the purpose of the speech, the organization of the content, etc. Additionally, of all the aspects previously mentioned vary in every situation, which means each speech should be unique and respond to the context and situation of it. Because of this, using the speech of someone else instead of delivering the speech according to the factors previously mentioned might have different negative effects.

In the case of Walter delivering President Kenedy's speech he might find the audience will not understand his purpose and the language he is using as Presidential speeches use different language to other speeches and languages and speeches have changed since Kennedy gave speeches (the 1960s); also, the audience will notice this and realize it is not Walter's speech which means they will know he is not being authentic and because of this the audience will not be engaged to the speech or pay attention to the words of Walter which will make the speech a complete failure. Thus, in the case presented Waler is unlikely to succeed because the audience will feel he is unsincere, they will not understand why he is speaking oddly and will lack engagement with his speech or all of the above (Option D).

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
