Question

argument in public advocacy quick check
which best describes an effective way to end a persuasive speech? (1 point)
with a powerful counterclaim
with critical background information
with a call to action
with a set of facts to support the claim

Explanation:

To determine the effective way to end a persuasive speech, we analyze each option:

• A counterclaim is used to address opposing views, not typically for concluding a persuasive speech to drive action.
• Background information is usually provided at the beginning to set context, not at the end.
• A call to action (CTA) is a common and effective way to conclude a persuasive speech as it urges the audience to act on the persuasive message.
• Facts to support the claim are part of the body of the speech where evidence is presented, not the conclusion.

Answer:

C. with a call to action
