when might a speaker choose to use definitions in a speech?
when the audience is fully engaged and understands your message clearly
when the audience is losing focus because they dont understand what you are talking about
when a particular term has multiple meanings, and you want the audience to choose which meaning they agree with
when you want the audience to make assumptions about your message

Explanation:

Definitions are used to clarify concepts. If the audience is losing focus due to lack of understanding, definitions can help. When the audience is already engaged (first option), definitions may not be needed. Definitions should clarify, not let the audience choose meanings (third option). Making assumptions (fourth option) is bad; definitions prevent that.

Answer:

When the audience is losing focus because they don't understand what you are talking about.
