Question

1. how is tone expressed in speeches?

literary techniques, word choice, subject
body language, volume, subject
literary techniques, body language, humor
subject, humor, body language

Explanation:

To determine how tone is expressed in speeches, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Literary techniques (like metaphors, repetition) shape tone, word choice (diction) directly affects tone, and the subject of the speech influences the appropriate tone (e.g., a eulogy vs. a comedy speech).
• Option 2: Volume is part of vocal delivery (affecting tone), but "subject" is already considered in Option 1, and body language is more about non - verbal communication that supports tone but is not the primary way tone is expressed in the content of the speech (literary techniques and word choice are more content - focused).
• Option 3: Humor is a device to engage, not a primary way to express tone, and body language is secondary to literary techniques and word choice in tone expression.
• Option 4: Humor is not a primary tone - expressing element, and the combination is less accurate than Option 1.

Answer:

A. literary techniques, word choice, subject
