Question

an effective persuasive speech will ________ and ________.
a. anticipate selective exposure; appeal to the audience
b. anticipate selective exposure; reveal bias
c. reveal bias; appeal to the audience
d. appeal to the audience; ask for large changes

Explanation:

An effective persuasive speech accounts for selective exposure (a tendency for audiences to engage only with aligned views) to structure arguments that reach them, and it must appeal to the audience's values, needs, or interests to persuade. Revealing bias undermines credibility, and asking for large changes is less effective than incremental requests, making other options invalid.

Answer:

a. anticipate selective exposure; appeal to the audience
