when using a hypothetical example in a speech, it is wise to include which of two supporting elements?

□ statistics
□ extended example
□ testimony
□ technical language

Explanation:

Hypothetical examples are fictional scenarios, so pairing them with statistics adds factual credibility to show the scenario reflects real-world trends. Testimony from credible sources also validates that the hypothetical situation aligns with expert or real experiences, making the speech more persuasive. Extended examples would be redundant as the hypothetical is already an example, and technical language does not support the hypothetical's relevance or credibility.

Answer:

• statistics
• testimony
