Question

evaluate the best oral citation for a speech below:

a november 17, 2017, article in physiciansunited.com explains dr. ambrose’s research about stress being the leading cause of nearly 600,000 heart attacks every year

a recent study published in 2016 shows that only 10% of the earth is covered with soil that is useful for farming

in a recent issue of the economist, the author points out that nearly 38% of all american households have credit card debt

maggie rose’s book, the extinction, explains that humans have become the new natural disaster by focusing on expansion and urban development

Explanation:

To determine the best oral citation, we need a citation that includes specific details like the date, source, and author/researcher for clarity and credibility. The first option provides the date (November 17, 2017), the source (PhysiciansUnited.com), and the researcher (Dr. Ambrose) along with the research finding. The other options lack some of these key details: the second has no source or author, the third has no date or author, and the fourth, while having an author and book, the topic is about natural disasters which is less clear in terms of the citation's relevance to a general speech compared to the first one's focus on a health - related research with specific details.

Answer:

A. A November 17, 2017, article in PhysiciansUnited.com explains Dr. Ambrose’s research about stress being the leading cause of nearly 600,000 heart attacks every year
