question 5 of 15
identify the unspoken audience questions that a speaker needs to address.
choose all that apply:
□ what do you mean?
□ why should i believe you?
□ why do you care?
□ why should i care?

Explanation:

To determine unspoken audience questions a speaker should address, we analyze each option:

• "What do you mean?" relates to clarity of the message (audience may need definition/elaboration).
• "Why should I believe you?" relates to credibility (audience wants to trust the speaker's claims).
• "Why do you care?" is less about the audience's concerns and more about the speaker’s motives, which is not a typical unspoken audience question focused on the message/credibility/relevance to them.
• "Why should I care?" relates to relevance (audience wants to know the importance of the topic to them).

So the applicable ones are "What do you mean?", "Why should I believe you?", and "Why should I care?".

Answer:

• What do you mean?
• Why should I believe you?
• Why should I care?
