Question

question 8 of 15
which example of media would best set the mood for a speaker giving a presentation about the lack of affordable housing in a city?

a. a chart showing the cost of housing in the city
b. a video showing a tour of a famous mansion
c. a map showing the locations of cities with the most affordable housing
d. a photograph of a family with children living in a shelter

Explanation:

To set the mood for a presentation on lack of affordable housing, the media should evoke empathy and directly illustrate the human impact of the issue. Option A provides data but does not set an emotional mood. Option B is irrelevant as it shows luxury housing, which contradicts the topic. Option C focuses on affordable housing elsewhere, not the problem in the target city. Option D visually depicts a family affected by the lack of affordable housing, effectively setting a somber, empathetic mood that aligns with the presentation's theme.

Answer:

D. A photograph of a family with children living in a shelter
