own business. what three guidelines for effective informative speaking did maria fulfill?
□ she described the abstract term \empowerment.\
□ she related the subject directly to the audience.
□ she personalized her ideas.
□ she tried to avoid overestimating audience knowledge.

Explanation:

• "She personalized her ideas" - By telling a descriptive story, Maria made her concept of "empowerment" more relatable and personal to the audience.
• "She related the subject directly to the audience" - Since she was helping her audience understand what she meant by "empowerment" (in the context of her own business), she was relating the subject (empowerment) to her specific audience (likely interested in business or similar).
• "She tried to avoid overestimating audience knowledge" - A descriptive story is often a way to explain in a more accessible manner, assuming the audience may not have in - depth prior knowledge of the abstract term "empowerment". Describing it through a personal business - start story makes it more understandable without assuming high prior knowledge.
• "She described the abstract term 'empowerment'" - Just describing the term (even through a story) is not enough for effective informative speaking. Effective guidelines focus more on how it's presented to the audience (personalization, relation, and avoiding over - estimation of knowledge).

Answer:

She personalized her ideas, She related the subject directly to the audience, She tried to avoid overestimating audience knowledge.
