Explanation:

1. Sharing personal experiences makes the speech relatable and can evoke emotions in the audience. Complex terminology may distance the audience, dry facts are less emotional, and avoiding emotional language won't help in emotional - connection.

Answer:

1. B. By sharing personal experiences
2. C. To refute opposing viewpoints
