B. Structure
C. Length of speech
D. Speaker commitment to subject

is it D

I agree.

are you sure about the second one because i'm confused between B and D

I agree with both you and bobpursley. I can so effectively argue both sides of an issue that the audience doesn't know which I really favor.

I thought of structure. It is a close call. However, I am vacillating now.

structure allows one to follow your train of thought, and grasp it. If your train of thought is clear, the message and logic become compelling.

Just took this test and got 100% the answers are, rhetorical criticism and structure

allie is correct . answers are rhetorical criticism and structure

You are evaluating this when you are looking for a clear, compelling message.

A. Use of quotes
B. Structure
C. Length of speech
D. Speaker commitment to subject

The answer is B structure

To determine the correct answer to the first question, we need to understand what speech criticism is and compare it to the options given. Speech criticism is the act of assessing and analyzing a speech, identifying its strengths and weaknesses, and providing feedback.

Option A, speech evaluation, seems similar to speech criticism as it involves assessing and evaluating a speech. However, it is not a simpler form of speech criticism but rather a synonymous term.

Option B, rhetorical criticism, is not a simpler form of speech criticism but a different approach altogether. Rhetorical criticism focuses on analyzing the persuasive techniques, strategies, and the use of language in a speech.

Option C, panel judging, is not a simpler form of speech criticism but a different context where speech criticism may occur. Panel judging involves multiple judges assessing and ranking speeches in a competition setting.

Option D, communication process, is not a simpler form of speech criticism but a broader concept encompassing various elements and stages of communication.

Based on the above analysis, the correct answer is A. speech evaluation, as it is synonymous with speech criticism and therefore a simpler form of it.

Now let's move on to the second question. We need to determine which factor you are evaluating when looking for a clear, compelling message.

Option A, use of quotes, is not directly related to the clarity or persuasiveness of the message but rather the inclusion of cited material from other sources.

Option B, structure, can significantly contribute to the clarity and effectiveness of a speech. A well-organized and logical structure helps in conveying the message more effectively.

Option C, length of speech, does not necessarily determine the clarity or persuasiveness of the message. It is possible to have a concise and compelling speech, as well as a lengthy one that lacks clarity.

Option D, speaker commitment to the subject, can indirectly affect the clarity and persuasiveness of the message. A speaker who is passionate and fully engaged with the subject matter is more likely to deliver a clear and compelling message.

Based on the options provided, the correct answer is B. structure, as it directly relates to the clarity and persuasiveness of the message.
