Question

1. what part of the speech outline is built by using this equation: x = general purpose + audience + topic

thesis statement
attention - getter
specific purpose
credibility statement

Explanation:

In speech preparation, the specific purpose is derived by combining the general purpose, the audience, and the topic. A thesis statement focuses on the main idea, an attention - getter is for engaging the audience, and a credibility statement establishes the speaker's trustworthiness. So the part of the speech outline built by the equation \(X=\text{General Purpose}+\text{audience}+\text{topic}\) is the specific purpose.

Answer:

C. specific purpose
