Explanation:

1. Special occasion speeches aim to reinforce shared identity and values among the audience. They are not primarily for providing detailed information (informative speech) or persuading to take action (persuasive speech).
2. The presentation of awards speech emphasizes the worthiness of an award recipient. A toast is a short speech to honor someone (often at a celebration like a wedding), and a eulogy is for the deceased.
3. An effective acceptance speech should include gratitude towards the donor and recognition of contributions. Criticism of the award’s criteria is inappropriate, and a lengthy personal biography is not the main focus.
4. In a eulogy, one of the audience’s expectations is to temper the audience’s grief and explain how the deceased lives on. A detailed biography is not the main aim (though some details may be included), and humor and entertainment are not typical expectations (unless in a very specific, non - traditional context).
5. Tributes honor an individual or occasion while commending shared history. They are not necessarily lengthy and complex, and they are not always humorous in tone.
