Question

which is an advantage of speaking?

a. it is convenient and easy.

b. it allows you to organize your thoughts in advance.

c. it provides a record of your words.

d. it is formal and lacks emotion or feeling.

Explanation:

• Option A: Speaking is often convenient and easy as it doesn't require the preparation (like writing does) and can be done spontaneously, so this is a valid advantage.
• Option B: Organizing thoughts in advance is more associated with writing (like preparing a speech or an essay) rather than the act of speaking itself, especially spontaneous speaking.
• Option C: Speaking does not provide a record of words unless recorded, while writing does. So this is not an advantage of speaking.
• Option D: Saying that speaking is formal and lacks emotion is incorrect. Speaking can be informal and is a primary way to convey emotion (unlike some formal writing). Also, lacking emotion is not an advantage.

Answer:

A. It is convenient and easy.
