Question

A teenager wants to persuade her friends to volunteer at a local veterinarian’s office.

Which form of communication would not be appropriate for this audience and purpose?


a research report discussing different types of animals


an e-mail listing the personal rewards of volunteering


a speech explaining the reasons people should volunteer


a flyer describing how the animals would benefit from volunteers’ help

Answer 1

a research report discussing different types of animals

In this case a research report would be inappropriate considering you want to persuade someone to volunteer, I think a report discussing animals would be a nogo.
