Question

1. which of the following is one of the three tasks to be accomplished during the conclusion of a speech?

a. establish credibility
b. fain the audience attention
c. introduce a new idea
d. reinforce purpose

Explanation:

• Option a: Establishing credibility is typically done in the introduction of a speech, not the conclusion.
• Option b: Failing the audience attention is not a task of the conclusion. The conclusion should engage the audience.
• Option c: Introducing a new idea is not appropriate in the conclusion. The conclusion should summarize and reinforce, not introduce new content.
• Option d: Reinforcing the purpose (or main message) of the speech is a key task of the conclusion. It helps to leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Answer:

d. reinforce purpose
