Question

robert is a surgeon; he needs to present a presentation on how to do cpr to fifth-grade students. he used a lot of technical terms, and students started leaving the hall. what mistake did he make before framing the speech? he did not analyze the audience. he did not cross-check the information. he did not politely present his idea. he did not maintain decorum.

Explanation:

The problem is about a surgeon giving a presentation to fifth - grade students. The key here is understanding the mistake in speech preparation. Fifth - grade students are a young audience with limited medical terminology knowledge.

• Option 1: Audience analysis involves knowing the audience's knowledge level, age, etc. Since Robert used technical terms that the young students couldn't understand, he failed to analyze the audience.
• Option 2: Cross - checking information is about verifying facts, which is not related to the use of technical terms for the wrong audience.
• Option 3: Polite presentation is about the tone and manner of presenting, not about the appropriateness of the language for the audience.
• Option 4: Maintaining decorum is about behaving appropriately in the setting, not about tailoring the speech to the audience.

Answer:

A. He did not analyze the audience.
