Question

multiple choice question
when giving an informative speech on a subject that is highly technical, which strategy should be used?
use technical language, but hand out a sheet of paper beforehand that explains unfamiliar terms.
ask audience members to raise their hands whenever they get confused so that you can make an explanation using simpler terms.
assume that the audience knows nothing about the subject and use very simple language throughout the speech.
assume that the audience is well-versed in the topic and use technical jargon to save time.

Explanation:

For a highly technical informative speech, the goal is to balance accuracy with audience understanding. Providing pre-shared term explanations lets you use precise technical language while giving the audience tools to follow along, avoiding constant interruptions or oversimplifying the technical content. Asking for confusion checks disrupts flow, assuming no prior knowledge undermines the technical depth, and assuming full expertise risks alienating those less familiar.

Answer:

Use technical language, but hand out a sheet of paper beforehand that explains unfamiliar terms.
