Answer 1

The false statement about gathering information for a speech is, "You do not need to do research if you are familiar with your topic". Being familiar doesn't mean that you know all the details about the topic you are given. A speech should mostly be based on facts that are proven with evidences. It should convey objectivity and should also base its information on reliable sources.
