what is the goal of the clincher in a speech?
○ to reinforce the speakers credentials
○ to leave a lasting impression in the listeners minds
○ to briefly summarize the main points of the speech
○ to help the audience anticipate what comes next

Explanation:

A clincher in a speech is the final part, designed to make a strong, lasting impact on the audience. Reinforcing credentials is not its goal (that's more for ethos building earlier). Summarizing main points is a summary, not a clincher. Helping anticipate what's next is for transitions, not a clincher. The clincher's role is to leave a memorable impression.

Answer:

B. to leave a lasting impression in the listeners' minds
