Question

imagine that you are giving a speech to your college class and are trying to decide which shared connection to activate in order to best address them as a public. match each of the possible ways to address your audience below with the type of public it best represents.
as drivers with issues regarding campus parking
media
as people who watch college sports
immediate
as fellow students in this classroom
identity
as students concerned with the rising cost of education

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze the types of publics and the audience descriptions:

Step 1: Analyze "immediate" public

The "immediate" public refers to the audience physically present or directly interacting with the speaker. The description "as fellow students in this classroom" matches, as the college class (immediate audience) are fellow students in the same classroom.

Step 2: Analyze "media" public

The "media" public involves a broader audience reached through media channels. "As people who watch college sports" fits, as college sports are often covered by media, and this addresses a media - engaged audience.

Step 3: Analyze "identity" public

The "identity" public is defined by shared concerns or identities. "As students concerned with the rising cost of education" matches the identity of being students with a shared concern. And "as drivers with issues regarding campus parking" also fits the "identity" public, as it's about a shared identity (drivers) with a specific concern (campus parking).

Final Matches:

• "as drivers with issues regarding campus parking" → identity
• "as people who watch college sports" → media
• "as fellow students in this classroom" → immediate
• "as students concerned with the rising cost of education" → identity

(Assuming the task is to match each left - side item to the right - side public type, with the blue - boxed item “as drivers with issues regarding campus parking” matching “identity”.)

Answer:

"as drivers with issues regarding campus parking" matches with "identity" public; "as people who watch college sports" matches with "media" public; "as fellow students in this classroom" matches with "immediate" public; "as students concerned with the rising cost of education" matches with "identity" public.
