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. What is the best type of organization for his speech?

a. cause-effect
b. topical
c. chronological
d. spatial

Answer 1

What Paul did here in giving his speech is by relaying his trip from the first show until it ends. This type of speech is in chronological order. The answer is letter C. It is his way of arranging his speech by how it began and how it end that makes it chronological. Just like in numbers, you begin by 1 and then end in 10 as your maximum.

Answer 2

The best type of organization for his speech is C. chronological.
If he wants to tell exactly what happened during the fashion week and how it happened, so it would be best to just sequence the events and everything the way they unfolded during the fashion week. The other options don't really fit his needs.
