Question

Paul just returned from New York Fashion Week. His Graphic Arts & Design teacher has asked him to give an informative speech about his trip. Paul wants to cover fashion week from the first show he saw to the last show he saw. While all the students in his class are interested in design, not all of them care about fashion design. Knowing this about his audience, which of the following might help Paul make his speech more effective? a. start with something simple about fashion b. connect fashion to something the audience already knows c. give lots of examples about the fashion from each show d. limit the amount of information about the designers Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

My thought is B, connect fashion to something the crowd / audience already knows about, to kind of draw their attention.

Answer 2

B. Connect fashion to something the audience already knows might help Paul make his speech more effective

Explanation:

It is mentioned that all of them are interested in design so Paul could connect fashion by focusing on the main points that all kinds of design have a shared foundation, that way his audience will feel related and appeal towards the topic. By doing this he won't just achieve his goal of having a successful speech but he will be able to convey all his message as extra details or extension of information from the base that they already know.
