he uses slang terms.
his posture does not look confident.
he does maintain eye contact with the audience.
he does not state the topic and purpose of his speech.

Explanation:

To determine the guideline for formal speech not followed, we analyze each option:

• "He uses slang terms": Slang is informal, so using it violates formal speech guidelines.
• "His posture does not look confident": Posture relates to non - verbal delivery, not the language (formal/informal) of the speech.
• "He does maintain eye contact with the audience": Maintaining eye contact is a positive formal speech behavior, not a violation.
• "He does not state the topic and purpose of his speech": This is about content structure, not the formality of language.

Since the question is about formal language use, the violation of using slang (informal language) in a formal speech context is the correct choice.

Answer:

A. He uses slang terms.
