Question

multiple choice question
during her speech on diabetes, tomia discussed many facts about its causes and how to treat it. however, she forgot to give real-world examples of people who live with diabetes and didnt mention that her mother was recently diagnosed with the disease. what guideline to effective informative speaking did she not follow?
○ avoid abstractions.
○ personalize your ideas.
○ avoid being too technical.
○ do not overestimate what the audience knows.

Explanation:

Tomia only shared factual, general information about diabetes but failed to use personal, real-world examples (like her mother's diagnosis) to make the topic relatable. Effective informative speaking often uses personalization to connect abstract facts to real people, which she did not do. The other options do not fit: she did not use overly abstract language without context, did not use overly technical content, and did not overestimate audience knowledge.

Answer:

C. Personalize your ideas.
