Question

which of the following options does not include an organizational style and a correct corresponding example?
a. spatial - speech about the nervous system
b. topical - speech about types of computers
c. motivated sequence - speech about how to make a cake
d. chronological - speech about world war ii

Explanation:

• Spatial: Organizes by physical space; a nervous system speech can map its physical layout, so this is correct.
• Topical: Organizes by distinct categories; types of computers are clear topics, so this is correct.
• Motivated Sequence: A persuasive structure focused on inspiring action, not a how-to (which uses chronological/sequential). A cake-making speech is instructional, not persuasive, so this pair is incorrect.
• Chronological: Organizes by time order; WWII has a clear timeline, so this is correct.

Answer:

c. Motivated Sequence - Speech about how to make a cake
