Explanation:

Question 23

The three general purposes of a speech are to inform, persuade, and entertain (or sometimes to inspire, etc.), but not "gain credibility" as a general purpose. Credibility is more about the speaker's ethos. So the statement is false.

• "Attention getter" is to draw the audience's attention.
• "Thesis" is the main idea of the speech.
• "Purpose statement" states the goal of the speech.
• "Relevance" statement is where you explain how the topic relates to the audience, tying the topic to them.

Answer:

False
