Question

question 2 of 10
what could happen if a speaker ignores the audiences expectations and ideals?
a. the speakers feelings might be hurt.
b. the audience might not trust the speaker.
c. members of the audience might change their values.
d. the speakers grades might decrease.

Explanation:

When a speaker disregards an audience's expectations and ideals, the audience will likely perceive the speaker as unrelatable or unresponsive to their needs, which erodes their trust in the speaker. Option A is incorrect because ignoring audience expectations impacts the audience, not the speaker's feelings directly. Option C is unlikely, as audiences do not typically change core values due to a speaker ignoring them. Option D is irrelevant, as speaker grades are not tied to audience expectations in this context.

Answer:

B. The audience might not trust the speaker.
