- A. Plan the audience, purpose, form, tone and viewpoint before choosing vocabulary and structure for Select content and examples that
- B. Use the same register for every task in Preparing a spoken presentation
- C. Ignore form, paragraphing and argument for Select content and examples that
- D. Add descriptive detail without controlling tone in Presenting and responding
Answer
The correct answer adapts examples to the audience, purpose and form so the presentation feels relevant and controlled.
Explanation
This spoken-language question tests adaptation. A strong speaker changes content depending on whether the audience needs explanation, persuasion or reassurance. The best answer should show that examples are chosen deliberately for the situation. This avoids the common mistake of using the same prepared material for every audience, which weakens purpose and makes the presentation less responsive.
Common mistake
audience: summary instead of analysis
Students sometimes summarise Preparing a spoken presentation instead of explaining how the objective works in the answer.
Correct this by selecting a brief detail, explaining its effect, and linking the point back to "Select content and examples that suit the audience and purpose."
