Question

Which two of the following examples are authorities whose speeches should be reliable?

a medical doctor speaking about smoking
a medical doctor speaking about oil shortages
an army general speaking about health insurance
an army general speaking about the weapons race

Answer 1

I would assume a medical doctor speaking about smoking and an army general speaking about the weapons race. However, I could be wrong.

Answer 2

The two correct answers are:

• a medical doctor speaking about smoking

• an army general speaking about the weapons race

Step-by-step explanation:

A medical doctor is perfectly trained ans suitable to deliver a speech related to the negative effects of smoking in health. A medical doctor, on the other hand, does not have the expertise or proffesional training to deliver a speech about oil shortages.

An army general is eligible to talk about weapons race since it is his area of expertise as weapons are directly related to the army field. On the contrary, an army general does not have the knowledge or skills to stand before an audience and talk about health insurance.
