which are two reasons for why it is important for a speech to be well organized?

• speeches rely on a linear presentation of visual aids.
• the speaker’s strategy has to be obvious to the listener.
• the speaker’s coherence affects the listener’s perception of the speech.
• unlike reading a text, the audience cannot reread parts to better understand the message.

Explanation:

1. Unlike written text, a speech is consumed in real time; listeners cannot revisit confusing parts, so strong organization prevents misunderstanding.
2. A speech's coherence (logical flow) directly shapes how the audience interprets and follows the speaker's message, making organization critical.
3. The speaker's strategy being obvious is not a core reason for organizational importance, and linear visual aid presentation is not a fundamental driver of speech organization needs.

Answer:

• Unlike reading a text, the audience cannot reread parts to better understand the message.
• The speaker's coherence affects the listener's perception of the speech.
