question 3 (20 points)
pronouncing unfamiliar or technical words incorrectly while delivering a speech is likely to
○ make it difficult for the audience to understand you.
○ make the audience more sympathetic to your message.
○ reinforce the seriousness of your subject.
○ make your audience feel like youre one of them.

Explanation:

When words are mispronounced, especially unfamiliar or technical ones, the clarity of communication suffers. The audience's ability to understand the speaker directly depends on accurate pronunciation. Sympathy (option 2) would likely decrease as mispronunciations might signal a lack of preparation. Mispronouncing technical terms undermines the seriousness of the subject (contradicts option 3). And mispronouncing words doesn't create a sense of relatability (opposite of option 4).

Answer:

make it difficult for the audience to understand you.
